Andrea Cramer is the founder of Neighbor to Neighbor, a friendship-based network cultivating mutual relationships among the South Bend area’s refugee, immigrant, and non-immigrant communities. Growing up in rural Indiana, she never imagined that she would team up with the ACLU to sue the state BMV as an act of friendship.

The Studebaker Talks is an annual gathering on a former Studebaker factory floor to listen to stories about South Bend's people, ingenuity, and progress. Our first gathering happened October 8, 2021, with 7 speakers and a sold-out crowd of 250, raising nearly $3,000 for the South Bend Education Foundation.

Save the date: Our second gathering is scheduled for October 7, 2022.

Speaker submissions will be open during May, and early bird tickets will be available this summer. Join the email list on our website to get notified.
