    Currently, CBD and THC are making headlines all over the world, but what do we really know about these cannabinoids and cannabis plant? Join us as we take a look at cannabis use throughout history, the medical science behind it, and the current laws surrounding it. Now that forty-seven states are giving over three million people access to medical cannabis, and eleven states have allowed adult recreational use, it is time we understand what all the buzz is about. Attend both sessions for full coverage of topics.

    We recognize that our dietary habits make a significant impact on heart health – and some of what we “know” may not be the most accurate. In celebration of National Heart Health Month, Dr. Melanie Burns, RDN will guide us in food label reading with a keen eye on sodium content and how to prepare foods at home to be lower in sodium. Attendance at both sessions is not required. Limited to 12 participants.


    The first session will meet at County Market (Study Room, FL 2) and will include a brief update of heart healthy guidelines and an opportunity to put that knowledge into practice in the grocery store aisles reading food labels.


    The second session will meet on Eastern’s campus in Klehm Hall 2309 where we will modify and prepare recipes to be more sodium friendly. So, be sure to bring your appetite for delicious, lower sodium foods!

    This four-story building was the 2nd building built on Eastern's campus after the iconic Old Main Castle and was finished in 1908.  It included parlors, fireplaces, fourth floor maid's quarters, a matron's apartment, and a dining room.  It's registered as a historic landmark, due to it being the first women's college residence hall on the campus of a State University.   You are invited to come hear the story of how it came to be and the impact it has had on the thousands of residents who have lived there.  Hear about the lore of its haunting to the distinguished visitors it has hosted. Use visitor parking (or staff/student parking with pass), walk west past Old Main to main entrance on east side of Pemberton.

    Description:

    Spring. You’ve waited for it all winter, so come out and celebrate its arrival during Plein Air Art at the Lake. Creative souls and lovers of nature are invited to gather on Saturday, May 16 between the hours of 7 and 11 am to take photographs, sketch, and paint at Lake Charleston Trails. Artists of all skill levels will work at their own pace during the morning and gather to share their discoveries at 11.
    New to painting outdoors? Join artist Jessica Mertz for a lively introduction to the joys of working with watercolors ‘en plein air’ Jessica’s workshop will explore techniques for making the most of natural light and provide exercises and materials to get you started.
    Perhaps you’d like to hone your photography skills so you can take good shots of a landscape you’ll be finishing in studio later? We’ve got a workshop for that too. Photographer Tom Hebbermehl will demonstrate how to make the most of your powerful Smartphone camera tools. After years of shooting with a manual camera, Tom has fine-tuned the practice of capturing high quality images with his phone and he’s ready to show you how. Composition, adjusting exposure, focus and sharpness, addressing image problems without fancy photo editing apps and most crucially, capturing natural light are all covered in this fun, hands-on workshop.
    So what are you waiting for? It’s been a long cold winter, let’s get out and make some art!
