“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes… and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady
Greetings Friends,
The end of the semester is just around the corner. It is time to finish papers, present findings, share projects and make sense of the work you have done all semester. Some of you are getting ready to graduate; others are wondering if graduation will ever come. Still others may still be trying to figure out what courses you will take next semester (don’t forget to register soon!).
This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt is a good reminder that we are the ones who are making the choices about our own life pathways, and whether the path is smooth and easy or rough and rigorous, it still is our pathway; one that we choose. It’s important to remember in times of stress, when there seem to be too many things to finish and too many steps yet to take, that it is we who began and that the steps are ours.
It’s also good to remember that we don’t do anything alone. Think about the classmates who have shared ideas with you. Think about family members who have reached out in some way, or who have at least put up with your crazy schedule, even if they found it difficult to understand. Think about your professors who gave you feedback, even when you didn’t like it, and think about how that feedback helped you to see something in a new and different way.
This is your graduate program. You may be finishing your first semester. You may be in the middle of your program and the end may seem far in sight. You may be at that end and ready to celebrate your great accomplishment, but a little afraid of where it will take you next.
The pathway is yours. The choices are yours. Your life will be expressed in those choices. Be sure to own them well.
Sandra Graham, Ph.D.

Krysta DeBoer, Executive Director, Center for Urban Teaching
Lisa Elliott, Superintendent, School District of Greenfield

The Freedom to Marry A two-part Documentary
Saturday, November 18
Saturday, December 20
Time: 12:10 p.m. Location: FO 335
Open all faculty and students in any graduate program. For more information and see the MSCP page.
Master of Science in Education
Master of Science in Community Psychology
The Community Psychology program will host a
viewing of the documentary “The Freedom to Marry.”
This is open to faculty and students in any graduate
program. You can find information about the film and
view the trailer here: https://
freedomtomarrymovie.com/.
Here is a description of the film from their website:
“Evan Wolfson, the architect of same-sex marriage, and
his colleagues led a decades long battle to win rights for
LGBT people, culminating dramatically at the U.S.
Supreme Court. This is the surprising story of the most
successful – and perhaps most inspiring – civil rights
movement of our time.”
The documentary is about 1.5 hours long, so we will split it into 2 showings. The
first half will begin at 12:10 p.m. on November 18, and the second half will begin
at 12:10 p.m. on December 2. Both will be happening in FO 335. Please join us,
and bring your lunch!
Freedom to Marry
The MSCP program is going to participate as a community partner for this year’s
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), as we did last year. TDOR is a yearly
event that honors those who have lost their lives due to anti-transgender violence.
Community partners help advertise the event and encourage people to attend. We
also have the option to help out with the program, which could include reading
names (names of all who were lost in the past year are read aloud), pass out
Kleenex and candles, check people in, etc. I attended last year and it was a touching
ceremony that I was glad to be a part of.
Any of you who are taking a course right now that asks for Service Learning hours,
this event could potentially count for that. So please speak to your instructor if you
are interested in counting participation as Service Learning time.
We will be getting official flyers soon, but in the meantime I thought it would be
good for you to know about it in case you want to plan to attend. It will be held on
Saturday, November 18 at 6 p.m. at the Milwaukee LGBT Community
Center (1110 N. Market Street in Milwaukee).
Transgender Day of Remembrance
APA DIV 27
I want to make sure that everyone is aware of Division 27 in the American
Psychological Association. The APA has many (many) divisions that represent a
range of subfields in psychology, one of which is community psychology (DIV 27).
The official title of DIV 27 is Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA).
It's an awesome division with a lot of wonderful resources that may be of interest to
you. They also have multiple listservs that you can join (including one for students).
Here is the link to their general website: http://www.scra27.org/
The Membership tab will take you to a list of all the listservs that you can join.
