Stephen Anunson earned a B.A in Music and Anthropology with an emphasis in Film Studies (magna cum laude) from Lawrence University. He was the co-founder and president of the Lawrence University Film Production Club, the Photo Editor for the student newspaper (The Lawrentian), and performed in multiple student ensembles in the conservatory. After his sophomore year, Stephen went to New York City to intern with Global Village Media, a small documentary production company dedicated to telling powerful stories that engage, inform and unite. After finishing the summer internship he brought what he had learned to Lawrence and organized a student and professor panel to discuss the effects of media on democracy in our world today. The discussion was recorded and will be used for a documentary on the history and future of democracy. While a student Stephen worked with the development office of Lawrence University to create a video series about the various activities on campus.

Carolyn Armstrong
Carolyn Armstrong graduated from Lawrence University in 2011 with a B.M. in cello performance and a B.A in Theater, as well as a minor in film studies. She was a member of the Lawrence Symphony Orchestra, and took first place in the 2009 Wisconsin Cello Society Cello Day Competition. In her last year at Lawrence she was the president of the LU Film Production Club. A native of Appleton Wisconsin, she is passionate about involving artists in community projects. She is currently the Assistant Program Coordinator for Harmony Cafe Fox Valley, a non-profit program of Goodwill North Central Wisconsin. Carolyn also teaches Film, Music, and Artivism at the Renaissance School for the Arts, a charter school for hich schoolers in Appleton, WI. Carolyn's love of music and passion for community involvement came together when she traveled to Haiti in the Summer of 2008. Inspired by Lawrence University cello professor Janet Anthony, who has been teaching in Haiti since 1996, Carolyn spent two months teaching at music camps in Leogane and Jacmel, Haiti. The dedication of the students and teachers was remarkable. It was amazing to see that music was making a difference in a place of such hardship. It was a transforming experience, and one she will never forget. Carolyn has since made 7 trips to Haiti. She hopes that the incredible stories of Haitian musicians and teachers featured in Kenbe La will inspire people to realize their ability to share their talents and strengths with others.
