Wall Street Journal Wednesdays
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Valentine Dining Hall, Terrace Room B
Please join Stephanie Hockman, Loeb Center program director for careers in business and finance, for a weekly informal discussion on any of your favorite Wall Street Journal articles. This informal lunch group will meet every Wednesday from noon – 1 p.m. in Terrace Room B on the lower level of Valentine Hall. Grab some lunch and join the discussion!
Blackalicious Performance and Q&A
Come see hip-hop group Blackalicious perform and get a chance to ask them about their music and career. Acclaimed for the sublime combination of rapper Gab's verbal dexterity and lyrical eloquence and producer X's bracing beats and distinctive soundscapes, Blackalicious has earned widespread respect, both inside and outside of the hip-hop community, for the wildly inventive, personally charged innovations of its first three albums, 1999's Nia, 2002's Blazing Arrow and 2005's The Craft.
Peer Advocates' 2nd Annual Community Promise Tabling
The Peer Advocates for Sexual Respect will be tabling in Val and and the Keefe Campus Center this week to gather community responses to the prompt "Why and how we support survivors". These responses will be organized into a community poem that will be read by community members on March 20 at 7 p.m. in the Power House. Stop by to give your response, sign up to be a reader, take some resources, or just say hello!
