12:00pm	[12:00pm-1:00pm] Bi-Weekly Speaker Series "Seminar in Australia" Description: He:yung Kile' - Hello All! My name is Kayla and I am a programming assistant at the Native American Cultural Center located in the first floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. One recurrent program is a Bi-weekly Speaker Series. We invite students, professors, department staff and outside guests to present on given topics at lunchtime. It is usually held every other week once the quarter gets rolling at noon. A small lunch is usually provided, though we also encourage people to bring their own lunches given budget cuts to programming. In the past we've invited students to present honors theses, give traditional craft demonstrations, or share their experiences from a program that range from informal to formal. The goals are to build community (we learn more about each other!), increase awareness of the awesome programs that are out there, and increase Native American community participation in those programs. We may be a smaller community, but our voices can be heard in many areas of the Stanford Community! Please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu if you are interested. Also, if you have a particular suggestion for the small lunch, let me know. For example, students who went abroad to Italy did Italian food and organized their own potluck that wasn't as small. -- Kayla Rae Carpenter Hupa/Yurok/Karuk Stanford '10 Linguistics [12:00pm-1:00pm] AISES Lunch Meeting Description: Hey Everyone, Come to the center Monday at noon to Professor Gary Griggs talk about his experience in the Civil Engineering Department.
