Are you a creative thinker, a dreamer, a maker, a planner, or just curious? Join a world-building workshop, "Let's Build a Planet" with Becky Chambers, author of A Psalm for the Wild-Built. This is an interactive workshop on cross-pollinating ideas, making connections outside of your field, and collaborating on real-world issues. Open to all students from all majors and disciplines. Workshop runs 10:30 AM - noon in the Longhouse. The Future Is Always Fiction What good is fantasy, when the real world requires action? Does art exist apart from science, or are they perfect complements? Is escapism irresponsible in times like these, or can it be used as a tool for restoration? Join author Becky Chambers for a talk on the powerful, sometimes subversive act of imagining hopeful futures in the midst of a world in crisis. Talk is 3:00 - 4:30 PM in the Longhouse.
