Woods College and Messina College team up for movie night

The Woods College of Advancing Studies and Messina College will host a joint movie night at the Coolidge Corner Cinema on March 19 at 6 p.m., as part of a mutual effort to bring the two communities together.

Following a welcome from Messina College Dean Erick Berrelleza, S.J., and Woods College Dean David Goodman, students from both colleges will enjoy a private showing of “Inside Out 2” at the iconic cinema, and have the opportunity to reflect on the coming-of-age animated comedy, which deals with substantial themes of anxiety, trauma, and current pressures on young people.

A discussion will follow the screening, led by Woods College part-time faculty member Lindy Desciak. and Messina College Professor of the Practice Kat Gonso and Associate Professor of the Practice Amy Alvarez .

The evening is free, including popcorn, drinks, and admission.

Goodman hopes that the movie night is the first of many such events. “We are delighted to be bringing together these two wonderful communities and engaging in an evening of entertainment, shared learning, and good fellowship.”
