We've reached the month of Halloween, pumpkin spice, and slightly cooler weather, so we thought it was time for a new puzzle! We hope to see you all gathered around the touchdown table, piecing together our October-themed puzzle when you need a break between class or meetings. Also, since our birding expeditions were so popular, we decided it would be fun to explore other parts of campus we might not normally take time to visit. Keep reading to learn about our upcoming visit to the costume shop at Modlin, a Hub Talk, and more!

11 Things Worth Sharing This October
|
|
There’s a sense of change in the air that goes beyond the seasons, a shift in how we interact with technology, how we tell stories, and how we navigate a changed world. We’re on the brink of a new era, from the way AI is reshaping creativity to how the next generation is growing up in a world where “smart” is the default setting. What does it mean to truly listen, create, and tell stories in a world where AI-generated podcasts blur the lines of creativity and kids like mine grow up never knowing a time before AI?
