Panels, Panels, Panels

I've been going to a lot of panels lately dealing with a range of issues: Haiti, Preparing for senior year, religion and spirituality at Dartmouth, the list goes on

Tomorrow I am double-booked attending two panels in the evening. At 7:30 I'm going to hear a panel discussion called "The Social Construction of Poverty: a Panel on Inequality and Education in America." This is actually the beginning of a week of events that addresses social inequalities in America. I work in an education/neuroscience lab and have taken an education class about reading and educational development so I am interested to hear the faculty panelists discuss the issues of educational discrepancies. (And there's FREE FOOD!!!!)

Next at 8:30, Dartmouth seniors will talk at "Branded." They will be discussing how the communities with which they identify on campus (athletes, cultural groups, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, etc) shape how they are perceived and how they view themselves. Our very own Admissions Intern, Harmony Gbe '10 will be a panelist! I'm excited! Yay Harmony!
