SSC’s Student Organization for Latino Empowerment and Success (SOLES) Attends Illinois LAtino Council on Higher Education (ILACHE) Conference On Friday, April 14, South Suburban College’s (SSC) Student Organization for Latino Empowerment & Success (SOLES) attended the Illinois LAtino Council on Higher Education (ILACHE) Conference hosted at Malcolm X College. SSC students participated in various workshops, including Pilsen’s Festival de Mujeres 1979: Using a new digital exhibit to explore la riqueza of 1970s; Cafecito sin Azucar: Undocumented Professional Collective Wisdom at Work; Crotchet and Sustainability: What I learned from my mother; and Self-Advocacy in Higher Education. “My favorite workshop was self-advocacy advocating for yourself as a Latina/o/e. It was very informative on how to advocate for your well-being,” said Ana Ezparza, SSC Student and Latino Center Office Assistant. SOLES President Gloria Ruiz added, “I learned how to set healthy boundaries.” In addition, Lizbeth Atenco, SOLES Secretary, stated the My Skin, My Weapon workshop was her favorite as it provided tips on surviving graduate school as a Latina. The ILACHE Conference hosted two speakers for the morning and afternoon plenary during breakfast and lunch. Dr. Nancy “Rusty” Barcelo, nationally recognized for her work in diversity and inclusion and former President of Northern New Mexico College, spoke about her journey in higher education in the late 60s as a Chicana during the morning plenary. SSC Barber College student Miguel Ramos mentioned he “really enjoyed the morning speaker, Rusty.” Author and Latinx Activist Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez presented a portion of her book, For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, during the afternoon plenary. “It was great to hear their amazing stories and learn from Dr. Barcelo and Prica Mojica Rodriguez,” stated Lizbeth Atenco, SOLES Secretary.

Sand Ridge Audubon Society Local Nature Photo Book Presentation Friday and Bird Hike Saturday The monthly meeting of the The Sand Ridge Audubon Society will be held at Sand Ridge Nature Center, 15891 Paxton Avenue, South Holland, starting at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 5th. The Sand Ridge Audubon Society is an environmental organization dedicated to conservation of birds and their habitats, as well as promoting other nature-related causes and activities. A presentation given by local graphic designer/photographer Alex Ross shares the story of the culmination of his first book. This locally-focused coffee table book, “Between Home and the Highland Rookery,” features more than 100 species of birds, as well as other wildlife from some of the Calumet Region’s hot spots, focusing on the Cline Avenue marsh. After being awarded a grant in late March of 2022, the book quickly came together. It has sold more than 200 copies since its release in December 2022. Between planning, designing, and last minute additions, the 4th generation Highland resident will reflect on the challenges the project presented. Alex will also introduce a few simple photo editing tips for beginners to improve images that don’t come out as expected, but still have detail to expose. The following day, the Sand Ridge Audubon Society and the Little Calumet River Underground Railroad Project will sponsor a Bird Hike that will also feature a walk ‘n talk about the history of the Underground Railroad on Chicago’s south side. Participants will learn about fascinating local stories of the Underground Railroad while observing a wide variety of native birds as well as migratory species that visit our area each spring.
