The digital age has brought us virtually (pun, intended) limitless access to information in the digital age. Despite this access, Latine communities continue to confront the challenges of rampant misinformation, censorship and misrepresentation—influencing how Latines are depicted in news coverage to popular culture to domestic and international policies that directly impact (and harm) our communities. Accurate Latine narratives and exposure to our histories are as important as ever. In this timely and important symposium, we address representation and free speech through the lens of Puerto Rican storytelling.

Hosted by Latino Spartans & MSU Chicanx/Latinx Association (ChiLA).

Note: The first half of this event will take place at the Multicultural Center. The Library portion will begin at 1:30 in the Green Room.

Ainda Estou Aqui (I’m Still Here), winner of the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards (2025), tells the powerful true story of Rubens Paiva’s arrest and disappearance in 1970s Rio de Janeiro and his wife Eunice’s relentless fight for the truth amid Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964–1985).

Based on the novel by Marcelo Rubens Paiva—son of Rubens and Eunice—the film portrays the Paiva family’s struggle to uncover Rubens’ fate in a nation gripped by political repression. The trauma of her husband's disappearance drives Eunice to study law, ultimately becoming a leading advocate for Indigenous rights in Brazil.

We invite the MSU community and the general public to a free screening and discussion on political oppression, censorship, fear, trauma, democratic challenges, and social upheaval. Faculty members will facilitate the conversation, encouraging critical engagement with the film’s historical and contemporary relevance.

This event is free and open to the public.

Good Workers, Government Workers: Public Memory and the Murrah Building Bombing

A monumental twelve-foot-by-fifteen-foot quilt commemorating eighty-nine federal workers murdered in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 was the result of a collaborative, nationwide effort organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Originally intended for the newly rebuilt federal building in Oklahoma City, the quilt was instead added to the collections of the MSU Museum, where it has been stored for twenty-five years. A new exhibit of the quilt opens this October at the MSU Union.

Cloud Computing provides us means by which we can access the applications as utilities over the internet. It allows us to create, configure, and customize the business applications online.

Before deploying applications to cloud, it is necessary to consider your business requirements. Following are the issues one must consider:

Data Security and Privacy Requirement
Budget Requirements
Type of cloud - public, private or hybrid
Data backup requirements
Training requirements
Dashboard and reporting requirements
Client access requirements
Data export requirements
To meet all of these requirements, it is necessary to have well-compiled planning. In this tutorial, we will discuss the various planning phases that must be practised by an enterprise before migrating the entire business to cloud. Each of these planning phases are described in the following diagram:

Strategy Phase
In this phase, we analyze the strategy problems that customer might face. There are two steps to perform this analysis:
