Pride Talks: “A Lost Boy: In Search of Self-Identity and Belongingness”

Cleveland E. and Phyllis B. Dodge Room (A&B), Flynn Campus Union

“A Lost Boy: In Search of Self-Identity and Belongingness” presented by Kushal Bhandari, Class of 2025, Business Management and Computer and Information Sciences Double Major

My Pride Talk will be a walkthrough of the aftermath of a lost boy’s displacement; alienated in a faraway place. His realization of his true abilities and attributes serves as a voice for many other lost people who experience a similar sense of alienation on campus. A distinct approach to belonging that sparks discussion about security, fairness, and isolation. The talk will be heavily weighted with somber personal experiences that, in turn, stimulate the listeners’ sense of benevolence and empathy.

Pride Talks, a series of short, powerful talks by Springfield College faculty, staff, and students on issues connected to “belonging,” are free and open to the Springfield College community and the public.
