  • Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: Hungry Monsters: Feeding and Quenching of Black Holes

    Sponsored by:
    Dean of Faculty

    The existence of supermassive black holes, with millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun, residing at the centers of galaxies throughout the universe is well supported by a substantial body of indirect and, more recently, direct imaging evidence. When mass is pulled into a black hole gravitationally, in a process called ‘accretion’, a tremendous amount of energy is released signaling this growth in the form of a ‘quasar’. This growth is stochastic and episodic with a variety of routes for triggering and quenching.

    Seniors: Interviewing like a Pro

    Sponsored by:
    Center for Careers & Internships

    Do you have an interview coming up?  Or maybe you’ve had some recently that could have gone better?  In this session you’ll learn best practices for standing out in your introductions (“tell me about yourself”), fit-based interviews (“why do you want to work here?”) and behavioral interviews (“tell me about a time you had to handle a disagreement”). We will review strategies for responding to common questions and inventory prep resources including a new practice interview tool, Big Interview. Open to all students graduating in Feb or May 2026.

  • Introduction to Chinese Calligraphy

    Sponsored by:
    Winterterm Workshop

    A comprehensive introduction to traditional Chinese brush calligraphy. We will start from the very basics: how to hold a brush and the basic strokes. Each week will consist of two sessions, with each week focusing on a new style or calligrapher. The leader will give an introduction to each style and demonstrate writing. The participants will then have the opportunity to practice, with the workshop leader giving feedback. During the last session (or two) we will write traditional Spring Couplets on red paper for Spring Festival. No experience necessary.
