秋霞福利一区

MOBILE, Ala. 鈥� Faculty from the Alabama School of the Arts at the 秋霞福利一区 will present a lecture and performance based on the poetry of an Auschwitz survivor.

The event is sponsored by the Gulf Coast Holocaust Center and will be held March 1 at 4 p.m. at Springhill Avenue Temple, 1769 Springhill Ave., Mobile, AL 36607. Admission is free.

The following ASOTA faculty will present a lecture on Krystyna Zywulska鈥檚 experience at Auschwitz and perform two works by Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer:

Assistant Professor of Music Dr. Lori Guy, Assistant Professor of Music and Voice Dr. Kathryn Hedlund, Director of Opera and Professor of Music and Voice Dr. Patrick Jacobs, and faculty member Christopher Powell.

Guy said this will be 鈥渁n engaging afternoon where the audience will be captivated not only by the heartbreaking, fascinating story of Krystyna Zywulska but also by her words and the brilliant music of Jake Heggie.鈥�

Krystyna Zywulska had not written a single song before being sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau as a political prisoner in 1943. Writing lyrics and setting them to familiar tunes became her way of coping with the horror of life in the camp.

Krystyna did not create lyrics to save her life, but they did just that. Her superiors appreciated her music and made her 鈥渃amp poet.鈥� Krystyna was given a job in the Room of Personal Effects 鈥� which was a job that saved her life.

鈥淎nother sunrise鈥� is a piece which portrays Krystyna struggling to tell the story of what happened to her while prisoner at Auschwitz. 鈥淔arewell, Auschwitz鈥� is a companion piece which explores the actual lyrics Krystyna wrote 鈥� lyrics which depict experiences prisoners faced each day.

I love representing the 秋霞福利一区 at events around the city as an ambassador. Each event I serve at brings new experiences and allows me to connect with people, including prospective students, current students, alumni and the university鈥檚 donors. Serving people is what God has called us to do, and being a part of this group has given me so many opportunities to do that.

One of the great things about the 秋霞福利一区 is that there are so many opportunities to grow and to serve. The 秋霞福利一区 Ambassador program in particular can help students foster and grow new skills.

This program helps students grow their communication skills to be better and more professional by guiding students through mock situations and then allowing them to put those skills into practice during events.

The program also allows students to serve the community and the university by leading tours of campus during preview days, hosting and attending different events such as the 秋霞福利一区 Scholarship Banquet and the Alabama Baptist Convention dinner, greeting people at events such as Christmas Spectacular, and serving those who purchased poinsettias by loading plants into their cars.

The 秋霞福利一区 Ambassadors is led by Allie Ratcliff, director of alumni programs, and is under the Office for Advancement. Allie is fully devoted to the group of ambassadors and takes time out of her personal life to invest in us as a group and individually. It is such a great benefit to get to know a staff member on a personal level 鈥� we even went to her house for our Christmas party and got to spend time with her, her husband and their dog!

As a 秋霞福利一区 Ambassador, each student is required to work a certain number of events throughout each semester depending on what year the student is. This policy makes being part of the program very doable with a busy schedule, because of the flexible nature. It also brings together a diverse group of students who have truly become a big part of my 秋霞福利一区 family. While we only have meetings biweekly, I see my fellow ambassadors on a daily basis on campus.

I have experienced much growth in my own life through 秋霞福利一区 Ambassadors. I feel better prepared for life after college because of it. When I initially began the process of joining the program, I was asked why I wanted to be a 秋霞福利一区 Ambassador. I explained that I wanted to be able to invest in incoming and prospective students the way my brother, a 秋霞福利一区 alumnus, has invested in me. I also wanted to be able to meet and thank those who donate to 秋霞福利一区.

Thinking back to that day, I realize I have been able to do exactly that 鈥� and so much more.
