Faculty will provide lunch (you can probably guess what). Please plan to attend if you are not already committed at that time.
We will shift the afternoon CM class to be 1:15 – 3:15 that day, so please mark your calendars accordingly.

On Monday April 22, faculty member Rachel Hastings (mathematics & linguistics) will be available in the CAL from 11:30 – 11:45 (so right after Quixam Workshop) to discuss next year’s Mathematical Systems with interested students. If you are considering Mathematical Systems or any part of it, please plan to stay for this session.
