A Conversation with Author Putsata Reang

We are beyond thrilled to invite you to a conversation with Putsata Reang, whose voice has resonated across continents, from the bustling streets of Cambodia to the serene landscapes of Oregon.

In her latest masterpiece, Ma and Me, Putsata navigates the intense waves of familial bonds, the courage it takes to face one’s true self, and the poignant journey of coming out. This book, a beacon of hope and understanding, has not only won the Pacific Northwest Book Award but has also been acknowledged by the Lambda Literary Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for its profound impact. Putsata’s work is a testament to the struggles and victories of the LGBTQ+ community, making her insights invaluable, especially for those of us walking the path of self-discovery and acceptance.

Refreshments Provided!

Build Albion Fellows: Cadence Easterwood, Tyland Martin, Ella Lattimore, Ivan Green, and Breanna Ridley’s community-based project was selected as a finalist in the 2024 Michigan College Alliance’s, Michigan Campus Community Challenge (MC-3). The project, a community needs assessment survey, connects City of Albion residents to current non-profit home repair resources. Focusing on demographic data collection, Fellows from the 49224 zip code area gained an understanding of the pressing needs of their community members. The team presented their project and preliminary findings last Thursday during the “Final Pitch” where they were required to present a one-minute recording and discuss outcomes.  We celebrate the efforts of these four fellows whose project speaks to the power of “Liberal Art at Work”.  To learn more about the Build Albion Fellows, Albion College Community Collaborative (AC3), or the Albion Community Resource Connection Project please email amccaskill@albion.edu
