Social Science Week is Feb. 3-7
January 29th, 2025
The Social Science program is once again offering a week of talks on a variety of topics that will be of interest to the entire college community. Social Science Week will take place Feb. 3 to 7. The program is found here.
Social Science Week is an opportunity for students to see what contemporary Social Scientists are up to and to learn more about the many pathways Social Science study can lead to. It is also a moment to reflect deeply on the most meaningful questions we face at this point in history, questions about climate catastrophe, our rapidly changing media landscapes, art-making and race-relations, and how to think about conflict, both locally and abroad. These talks invite students and faculty to step out of the constraints of the traditional classroom, and into conversations about the world that is and the world that is to come.

In the shadows of past Halloweens, only offices under Student Services dispensed delights. This year, we’re unleashing a wider web of candy-filled surprises throughout the campus!

All students are summoned to join the festivities, but beware: only those donned in the most spectacular costumes will be granted passage to claim their sweet, sugary treasures.
Be prepared for an afternoon of frightful fun and delightful treats on Thursday, Oct. 31 from 2 PM-3:30 PM!
