Amherst Tuning In
5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Zoom
Amherst Tuning In is a new weekly social Zoom series supporting Amherst's music community as it takes up the question of how music is related to political activism. We'll celebrate the 19th Amendment's 100th anniversary with music, and take stock of barriers that must still be overcome in order to enfranchise all the voices of our democracy.
The series features 60 minutes full of music, socializing, presentations and discussions about voting rights and ongoing challenges to voting access.
Join the first Amherst Tuning In at 5:30 p.m. EST beginning Tuesday, Aug. 18, moderated by Gil Wermeling '19, and featuring ACVote representative Virginia Ryan '22 and graduate assistant for the music department Theo Peierls '20E. Tune in and find out what makes this day in history so special.
We'll talk about voter turnout, registering to vote-- and how confusing that can be --and highlight the Amherst.turbovote.org tool. See you there!
Next up: Tuesday, Aug. 24: Stories from alums about “The first time I voted.”

Workplace Wellness - Full Body Tune Up
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Zoom Link
There’s a common saying in the movement world: “move it or lose it.” Yet modern life does not provide most of us with the quantity and variety of movement our bodies need to stay healthy and resilient. This workshop will teach you simple ways to fill in your movement “gaps” throughout your work day, focusing on joint mobility and common areas of discomfort. Think of it as a maintenance tune-up for your most important vehicle, your body!
Amherst Tuning In
Join Amherst Tuning In, Tuesday, August 25, at 5:30 p.m. EST, where we will be chatting with some Amherst alums about their first time voting. We'll ask them about the soundtrack they'd choose for their experiences, and talk about music that celebrates the power of the voice.
See you there!
