SHARED STAGES:TEN AMERICAN DRAMAS OF BLACKS & JEWS
Joanne Koch co-editor
Joanne Koch, co-editor of the new anthology SHARED STAGES: TEN AMERICAN DRAMAS OF BLACKS & JEWS, which includes “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Fires in the Mirror” and Koch and Sarah Cohen’s own multicultural musical “Soul Sisters,” will talk about finding authentic common ground between Blacks and Jews, about using music to tell the story of two singers who forge a friendship despite racism and anti-Semitism in the turbulent sixties and seventies. “Soul Sisters” has toured to 30 universities including NLU. Dr. Koch will show a few scenes-songs from “Soul Sisters” and give interested students a chance to read from that play. Dr. Koch is Professor of English, Director of the M.S. in Written Communication Program and playwright of 14 plays and musicals that have been produced around the country.

Build Yourself For Success A Kid's Guide to Success
Matt Granger
Teaching children that their choices now are building them for success or holding them back is a vitally important job for parents and teachers. Children are, by nature, focused on the moment. But if the adults that work with them can, in some small way, help them to expand their vision a little, and look past the moment, the children will be ahead of their peers and will pull away in life. That one habit can dramatically alter the course of a child's life. The book, Build Yourself for Success: A Kid's Guide to Success, is a tool meant to do just that. It is the story of a teacher's journey to rid his mind of the negative thoughts and habits that have held him back in life through inspirational and instructional quotes. It is a tool to help kids start building the positive thought patterns and habits that will serve them in life.Based on quotes about success, failure, attitude, character, belief, and one's destiny, the book explains the principles behind the quotes with personal, scientific, or historical examples that children from third grade through middle school can understand and relate to.
