The semester-long interdisciplinary series at SCSU is an invitation to learn about the experiences of Sephardic Jews–Jews exiled from Spain in 1492–through films, concerts, interactive media, presentations, and personal stories from Sephardic members of our community and beyond. The series represents the collaborative efforts of a wide range of SCSU programs, departments, and other St. Cloud State University entities who collectively support exploration and celebration of the little-known Sephardic people. Through events such as this, we hope to deepen our understanding of and appreciation for human diversity.
