Events

Speaker: Deborah Keene

At the end of the last millennium, the world's nascent shared information architecture threatened to implode. We'll discuss if that threat was real, and explore how the lessons from the events of 20 years ago highlight the importance of liberal arts for the future

RA Parker will host a Zoom hangout with faculty-in-residence Nathan Parker. You are welcome to play your instrument or just listen and enjoy.

The students will watch short videos and read an article about bias and how good we are at evaluating our own bias. They will then break into groups for discussion.

Hashu Watson, Blount Scholar and Junior Fellow, will talk to us about her career in community organizing.

RA Madison will host players for the deception game Among Us. The play style requires crewmates to work together to sort through all of the clues and vote off the imposter to win. Playing Among Us in Discord is a safe and fun way to meet community members while also practicing civility in conflict.

Ken Kwapis, author and director, will talk about his new book and his time as a Hollywood director.

Before the Mississippi State football game on October 31st which starts at 6 PM, RAs Michael and Jacques will provide food and water to the residents. There will be time for some masked and distanced socializing in the lobby.
