Steal the Street

Tuesday, October 18, 2022
6:00 pm
Peabody 121, Leonard Theater

Steal the Street author and Miami alum, Dr. Mark Mussman, will discuss his collection of short articles about gentrification, public space, and community voice in Cincinnati.

As the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition's Director of Education, Dr. Mark administers the educational component of the Homeless Coalition’s mission to educate the public about homelessness and poverty and to combat harmful stereotypes and myths about homelessness. His position includes creating and implementing educational programs and initiatives, including the Speaker’s Bureau, Tours, and Trainings with churches, companies, secondary schools and universities. Through the Cincinnati Urban Experience program, Dr. Mark also coordinates Alternative Break service-learning trips for groups from across the country.

Dr. Mark’s previous roles included leadership in adult basic education, workforce development, volunteer coordination, and AmeriCorps service. As an education expert, Dr. Mark brings strategies for community education and a desire to build community connections.  As an AmeriCorps community volunteer, Dr. Mark provided direct instruction to community-based GED school participants through the Urban Appalachian Council and the Northside Community School. Dr. Mark continued his GED instruction at various community sites until embarking on the CAP513 Project. Through an individual grant from People’s Liberty, Dr. Mark founded the Creative App Project (CAP513) in 2015, which developed the first mobile app for the Safe and Supported Initiative, a partnership between Lighthouse Youth Services, Human Rights Campaign, HUD, and many other locally-based partner organizations, aimed at reducing instances of LGBTQ+ homelessness among teens and young adults.

This event will be in person as well as live-streamed. Livestream registration required. Register here:
