Fresh Check Day is a mental health fair designed just for college students. Think of it like a festival with a purpose! Instead of stuffy lectures, you'll find interactive booths, free food, music, and prizes. Each booth focuses on a different aspect of mental health, covering everything from stress management to building healthy friendships. It's a low-pressure way to learn about your mental well-being and connect with resources on campus and in the community. The goal? To show you that mental health matters, and it's totally okay to talk about it. It's all about checking in with yourself and your friends, because a little check-in can make a big difference.  Originally published at mcwell.nd.edu.

The Catholic Mobilizing Network is a national organization that mobilizes Catholics and all people of good will to value life over death, to end the use of the death penalty, to transform the U.S. criminal legal system from punitive to restorative, and to build capacity in U.S. society to engage in restorative practices. A reception will follow the event in the atrium of the Hesburgh Center for International Studies. PanelistsGary Drinkard spent close to six years on Alabama’s death row for a crime he did not commit — the robbery and murder of a 65-year-old automotive junk dealer in Decatur, Alabama. The case against Drinkard rested primarily on testimony from his half-sister and her common-law husband, both of whom were facing charges for unrelated crimes that would be dismissed in exchange for their testimony against Drinkard. Drinkard reached out to Bryan Stevenson at the Equal Justice Initiative for help with his case. In 2000, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered a new trial because of prosecutorial misconduct, and with the help of the Southern Center for Human Rights, he won an acquittal in 2001.Rev.

New at the BrowningDirected by David NovackProduced by Janice Englehart ('86)Not Rated, 103 minutes, DCPIn English and Chinese, Uyghur, and Kazakh with English subtitlesJewher Ilham scheduled to appear live!Jewher Ilham, a Uyghur teen from China with no English, lands in the United States after she is violently separated from her father at the Beijing airport as he is detained. Abduweli, a linguist and poet imprisoned and tortured for teaching Uyghur language to 6-year-olds, makes his way to Istanbul upon his release. Testimony and action from survivors of China's network of "re-education camps" and their families, in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Europe and the United States, infuse All Static & Noise with an urgency that exposes the mass brutality of state-sponsored oppression in Western China. Together these voices highlight the moral dilemma between risking the safety of families back home by speaking out and the necessity of exposing atrocities in the hope that global awareness will bring change.
