Hi all,
What’s happening? Led by the sophomores,
Lions basketball kicked the butts of
the P’s. Let’s show up in force this weekend
to cheer for the light blue!
It’s quickly becoming midterm and major
declaration season. If you haven’t
already, make sure that you declare your
major soon @
http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/fysaac/majordec/.
In the event that you’re still
undecided, visit one of the many exciting
and excellent professor talks run by
the CC 2008 Academic Affairs committee.
Information about these is below.
Also, starting this weekend, Vice-President
Neda Navab is putting together weekly
updates on the latest and greatest
happenings around the city. To get on
the list and receive Ned's Dates, visit
http://groups.google.com/groups/Neds-Dates.
Sneak Preview of this weekend includes a
dark, erotic, and irrational
exhibition, a diner with staff clad in pink
"Who's your Daddy" t- shirts, and a
backstage tour of the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Anyways, I have a meeting in the near future
with Larry Levitas regarding restoring
JJ’s Place to its pub past. My roommate
Geoffrey Aung (who’s single and
attractive) is 21, so I know this applies to
at least a few of us.
That said, much love. Send me a bad joke if
you have one.
Best and Happy Thursday,
Your Faithful President Isaac Silverman

1. [cc2008] Talks with Professors in Your
Areas of Interest
As the major declaration deadline for CC
approaches (it’s right around the
corner on March 2nd), CCSC 2008 is
organizing a series of one-hour talks
with professors in popular majors for
sophomores only. These talks won’t
focus on degree requirements, but rather on
a discussion of issues that the
professors find interesting in their
field and where they anticipate the field
progressing in the next decade or so.
The idea behind these talks is to give you
an idea of what to expect from your
chosen major in the future as well as the
opportunity to ask questions to a
knowledgeable source. Space is
limited, so if you’re interested, please
register by sending an email
indicating which talk you would like to
attend to [email protected]
. Refreshments will be served.
