What's HapPENNing?

Hi. We're a month deep into school now so it's about time you participate in the goings-on of this vibrant and diverse community. Check out the menu:

Today: CURF Research Mixer - 4:30 Bodek Lounge

Searching for research? Search no further.

Today: What is Feminism? - 6pm Kelly Writers House

Let poets, students, scholars, and activists enlighten you.

Absorb the wisdom of media greats from Rolling Stone, NPR, and more. Co-sponsored by our favorite parent-organization.

Tuesday: Be the Change: Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy - 5pm Irvine Auditorium

Entrepreneurship. Philanthropy. Need we say more? The answer is no, because this is a panel aimed at students with a strong focus on delivering impact and giving back to the community.

She's here.

Thursday and Friday: A Syrian Survivor Speaks Out - 7:30pm
