Join us for the first Faculty Colloquium of the Spring Semester with Rosalie Moffett

📅 1 – 2 p.m.
📍 Kleymeyer Hall (LA0101)

To Hear a War from Far Away: A Poetry Reading explores how constant exposure to livestreamed suffering and endless “doomscrolling” shapes our sense of self, intimacy, and daily life. Through poetry, Moffett reflects on navigating the modern world as an American mother in an age of infinite news.

Free and open to the public.

Our annual bonfire event has been moved to next Friday, 7th November due to the inclement weather we’re expecting Wednesday night.

We want to make sure everyone is safe and dry 😁
