    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

    Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: The Story Behind "Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory"

    Sponsored by:
    Dean of Faculty

    “Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory” is a multi-media installation, premiering at the Kent Museum, in Calais, VT, in September, in which I explore how we create, store, and access memory. While there have been theories of how the brain works for millennia, we only have accurate imagery of brain structures based on dissection spanning from the 1860s (drawings by scientists Deiters, Golgi, Bevan-Lewis, and Dejerine, to name a few), to Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of neurons (1899 – 1930s), all the way to the colorful and beautiful photo imagery of neuronal circuits generated by supercomputers.

    Networking outreach is critical for any job search. Research shows it speeds up your job search, results in better fit/higher job satisfaction, and is even associated with higher starting salaries. Join this session to learn how to find and contact professionals relevant to your interests, how to prepare, and how to lead an engaging and impactful conversation with them. We’ll cover all types of outreach—from basic informational interviews, to follow-up outreach, to advocacy calls inquiring about job opportunities. Open to all students graduating in Feb or May 2026.
