Library Presents A Day for Children Event on October 2

KIdVision’s Miss Penny

NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library will be hosting A Day for Children, which offers free and low-cost health and wellness services to children 16 and younger.

This annual health literacy event will be held on Sunday, October 2, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, Fla. NSU is proud to have Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital serve as this year’s title sponsor.

For nearly 20 years, more than 100,000 residents have attended the event to receive and learn about basic medical information to help them make informed decisions for their children and families. Health care education and activities for vision, medical, speech, behavior, and dental health as well as physical and occupational therapy will be provided through NSU Health Centers. Students and faculty from several of NSU’s colleges and centers will provide activities for the children attending this event. In addition to NSU Health’s clinical options, there will be government agencies, for-profit and non-profit healthcare options.

Our community’s food security poses an extreme threat to the wellbeing of children and their families. The good news is Feeding South Florida will be distributing food at this year’s event. Free pizza and hot dogs also will be served courtesy of Hungry Howies.

A Day for Children isn’t just informative and impactful, it’s fun! The event will be emceed by Julie Guy and Tamara G from 101.5 LITE FM. NSU’s Radio X will serve as the event DJ. Several performers, including KidVision’s Miss Penny and Clifford the Big Red Dog, the South Florida Cloggers, Broward Center Spotlights, the Girl Choir, and This is Improv, as well as mother and daughter authors Anabelle and Krystal Wallick, will entertain the audience.

Department of Communication, Media, and Arts Hosts Radio Day, Oct. 7

Student Media’s Radio X in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts will host College Radio Day on Friday, Oct. 7, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. World College Radio Day seeks to raise a greater, international awareness of college and high school radio stations operating across the globe and celebrate the contributions of college radio by uniting listeners on the first Friday of October each year. This year’s theme is “Voices of Peace,” spotlighting how student radio seeks to champion justice and support sustainable peace for everyone.

“College Radio Day is a fun celebration of the most important aspects of college radio stations, such as our student DJs featuring new and underground songs from up-and-coming artists that you otherwise would not hear,” said Mike Lynn, assistant director of Student Media. “Throughout the day, our DJs utilize 7 additional hours of airtime – that they otherwise wouldn’t have – to feature NSU faculty, students and staff and discuss their opinions on music genres they enjoy in a roundtable discussion focused on an annual theme.”

Listeners can participate in College Radio Day by tuning in to Radio X on WKPX 88.5 FM or online at https://streamdb7web.securenetsystems.net/cirrusencore/RADIOX
