It’s Not What You Think is a storytelling series that will explore the unexpected twists and turns that life takes— emphasizing that our lives rarely (if ever) progress as a linear series of met goals. It’s Not What You Think will bring together members of the college community around stories of the unanticipated ways that life unfolds, including the failures, defeats, tragedies, and radical life changes. Caitlin Myers will share her story of living through the grief of the sudden loss of her partner.

Dean of Language Schools, Stephen Snyder will be speaking as part of the Inaugural Lecture series.

Inaugural Lecture for Fletcher Professorship in Studio Art, John Huddleston.

John Huddleston will present photographs from his project about Mexican spirituality. Intensity, violence, devotion, excess, altruism and humor mark the Mexican religious transit. Native pantheistic beliefs survive under hegemonic Catholicism. The present may appear wide-open but is tightly bound to a complicated and divisive past. Ironic dialogues with Death further define and relieve the condition. Suffering, compassion, and contents of the past are illuminated in the blinding sunlight of the present.
