Child Welfare Immersive Collaborative Simulations (CWICS) is designed as a multi-hour simulation that places students in realistic child welfare environments while synthesizing information from interviews and written documents. Students will be both active participants and observers and have an opportunity to practice leadership, communication and critical thinking skills. The purpose of this event is to expose students to the challenge of working with interprofessional partners who each have different priorities, as well as the complexity of clinical decision making with an interprofessional group. Students will be introduced to working with families who have experienced trauma. Each student group may develop different conclusions by the end of the event. There will be two sessions offered, one from 8am-12pm and one from 1-5pm. Click here to register: https://bit.ly/CWICS-10-24-25 View on site | Email this event

The Museum of Fine Arts is proud to present Akimbo, the first solo exhibition by Florida State University alumna, Zoë Charlton, in her hometown, Tallahassee. Bringing together personal history and collective memory, the exhibition reflects on the ways in which identity is shaped through place. In Akimbo, Charlton reveals how memories and experiences accumulate across time, layering themselves within the Tallahassee landscape. At the heart of the exhibition is Paul Russell Road, a reimagined and meticulously crafted half-scale model of Charlton’s family home in Tallahassee. This upended house functions as a record of memory, an architectural tool that follows a blueprint informed by lived experience and historical recollection within this Southern landscape. In dialogue with the sculpture is Smokey Hallow, an animated film that evokes the vibrancy and loss of one of Tallahassee’s historic Black American neighborhoods during mid-20th-century urban renewal. Through evocative motion referencing the construction of homes, accompanied by natural and industrial sounds, Charlton develops a parallel record across different media. Together, these works operate as material and immaterial archives, mapping the intertwined histories of people, the built environment, and the landscapes that hold them.
