Following a welcome from Messina College Dean Erick Berrelleza, S.J., and Woods College Dean David Goodman, students from both colleges will enjoy a private showing of ā€œInside Out 2ā€ at the iconic cinema, and have the opportunity to reflect on the coming-of-age animated comedy, which deals with substantial themes of anxiety, trauma, and current pressures on young people.

A discussion will follow the screening, led by Woods College part-time faculty member Lindy Desciak. and Messina College Professor of the Practice Kat Gonso andĀ Associate Professor of the Practice Amy Alvarez .

The evening is free, including popcorn, drinks, and admission.

Goodman hopes that the movie night is the first of many such events. ā€œWe are delighted to be bringing together these two wonderful communities and engaging in an evening of entertainment, shared learning, and good fellowship.ā€
