Good Times

Upcoming Events

The Part Mental Tea, Today, 2:15-3:15pm, 4th Floor Faculty Lounge

• This title has been purposefully crafted to suggest some significant meaning, but it is ultimately absurd. In this respect it reflects many of the responses you’ll hear if you attend this event and ask some of the prospective students what their dissertation topic is. Should be fun.

19CRS, Today, 3:30-4:30pm, ABL Lecture Hall

• Ralph Wood, “Chesterton and Newman”
• Who’s that guy they put on all those posters?

Lecture, Today, 7-8pm, ABL Foyer of Meditation

• Tracey Rowland, “The Humanism of the Incarnation: Catholic, Barthian, and Dutch Reformed”
• I used to love these ones as a kid. A Catholic, a Barthian, and a Dutch Reformed walk into a bar…

Downton Abbey, Tues., 5 Mar., 5:00-6:15pm, CS 101

• Yup.

SET Workshop, Wed., 6 Mar., 3-4pm, No location posted

• “The Importance of Evaluation – Self-Reflection and Growth as a Teacher”
• It is noble to teach oneself, but still nobler to teach others—and less trouble.

SET Workshop, Thurs., 7 Mar., 9-10am, No location posted

• “More than Chatting: Engaging Students in Class Discussion”
• All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.
• (And, you know, a lot of these kids really do lack confidence.)

I couldn’t verify the Downton Abbey one, so we’ll say three quotes.
