Join an illuminating guest panel, "Romance + Relationships at Every Age: From Hooking Up, Online Dating + Lifestyle Choices." How do men and women of a certain age relate to new romances and online dating? If you could push the reset button, would you choose to be a male in your twenties today? How do you work a relationship into your lifestyle when you have a child and a career? How are the relationships among young men and women evolving in today's culture? New College President Donal O'Shea will give the welcome address, and the panel will include New College students Cassandra Corrado and Alexander Duff. Dr. Willa Bernhard, a researcher and writer for Women on the Web, will serve as moderator. She was a psychotherapist and educator in New York and a former instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Cornell University Medical School in New York.

New College of Florida, WEDU and Aston Gardens present the Community Cinema film screening of "The Island President" on Tuesday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the Mildred Sainer Pavilion. President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives is a man with a bigger problem than any other world leader has ever faced - the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. After bringing democracy to the Maldives, he must now ensure that his tiny country doesn't disappear under rising sea-levels. That means capturing the attention of global superpowers, forging alliances, persuading the skeptical, and learning the ropes of international political horse-trading. Despite the size of his country and his political challenges at home, Mohamed Nasheed has become one of the leading international voices for urgent action on climate change.
