SUMMARY:Performance:Arab American Heritage Month Carillon Recital by Drs. Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng
DESCRIPTION:*A Carillon Journey through Middle-Eastern Music*: Join Drs. Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng for a special noon carillon recital that journeys through a blend of traditional and contemporary Middle-Eastern music\, highlighting the distinct tonalities and rhythms found throughout this area of the world. The recital will feature the music of Lebanese legend Fairuz\, Middle Eastern folk tunes\, and original compositions written with a message of hope and peace for the region. Experience the resonance of the carillon as it amplifies these hopeful sounds\, creating a community atmosphere that bridges cultures and reflects the enduring spirit of peace.\n\nThe Charles Baird Carillon is an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cutting through the complexity: Why not just use a lottery for college admissions?
DESCRIPTION:Many prominent social scientists have advocated for random-draw lotteries as a solution to the “problem” of college admissions. They argue that lotteries will be fair and equitable\, eliminate corruption\, reduce student anxiety\, restore democratic ideals\, and end debates over race-conscious admissions. In response\, we simulate potential lottery effects on student enrollment by race\, gender\, and income\, using robust simulation methods.  If we went to a lottery system\, what would happen to student diversity?  And how would this change the built relationship between students and selective colleges?
