An exhibition marking the 150th anniversary, on November 24, of the publication of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species," is comprised of three related sections. In "A Habit of Deciding Influence" are 18 photographs of Darwin’s pigeon specimens at the Natural History of London/Tring. Darwin took up the study of domesticated pigeons in 1855 and his observations of artificial selection in pigeon breeding was invaluable to his understanding of the way species change in natural environments. 2)"Coop" is a mixed-media installation based on Darwin’s five-sided pigeon coop. 3)"Frameworks of Absence: The Extinct Birds of John James Audubon” includes 10 altered prints from “Birds of America.”

Should I make my notes and PowerPoint slides available to students? If so, in what form? When? What kinds of questions should I include on my exams? Should I give quizzes? Should I show movies in class? How should I encourage my students to study? Recent work in cognitive psychology has provided answers to these and other common questions about teaching and learning. Prof. Jennifer Talirico of our Psychology Department will reprise her well-received presentation at the recent Patriot League Academic Conference. Bring a lunch. Beverages and dessert will be available. Sponsored by the Center for the Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship.

The artwork in this exhibition represents collaboration between students and faculty in the art and computer science departments through the Emergent Patterns project, exploring the complex patterns and processes that can emerge in visual structures. They worked with software programs to produce different forms of recurring, natural patterns. These organic structures and patterns were then combined in layers of transparent surfaces. The multiple-layered works allow the viewer to see the evolutionary track back through the surface to the less complex visual systems from which the final image emerges.

Headed by Ed Kerns, Eugene H. Clapp II Professor of Art, and Chun Wai Liew, associate professor, head of computer science. Student participants included Rhodes Baker '10, computer science; Imogen Cain '12, art; Long Ho '10, mathematics and computer science; Khine Lin '11, pursing a B.S. in electrical and computer engineering and an A.B. in mathematics; and Scott Lyttle '10, art.

Bring your lunch and enjoy informal performances by Lafayette instrumental and vocal students and faculty. Dessert will be provided.

In a desperate attempt to save his rapidly failing used car dealership, Ben Selleck hires a crack team of "car mercenaries" to ramp up sales during the Fourth of July weekend. Led by the fast-talking, foul-mouthed, self-assured Don "The Goods" Ready, the group has three days to sell over 200 cars. But as Don undertakes his newest mission, and quickly falls for the boss's daughter Ivy, he realizes he'll have to trust more than his cars and his crafty skills in deceit to make a success out of the daunting weekend.

The Center for the Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (CITLS) is establishing a number of faculty learning communities. Learning communities are groups of faculty who share an interest in a particular pedagogical theory, process or procedure. This learning community is for those who are or would be interested in using portfolios, in any form, in their courses. Several faculty who are currently using portfolios will be leading the discussion. Please feel free to bring a lunch. Beverages and dessert will be available. If you cannot attend this meeting, but would like to be on a mailing list for the portfolios Learning Community, contact Alan Childs, childsa@lafayette.edu, and he will add you to the portfolio email list.
