Baruch Art-a-thon!

I wanted to draw your attention to a series of events taking place all over campus this Tuesday, March 7, for Baruch’s inaugural Art-a-thon. If you have some free time in your schedule, any of these events could qualify as a cultural event for your optional extra credit assignment. (See the syllabus for details on how to get full credit.)

In particular, I want to invite you to stop by the event I’m organizing: a marathon reading of Frankenstein. The event commemorates the 200th anniversary of Shelley’s writing of the novel, which she finished in 1817 and published in 1818. We’ll be in room VC 14-267 for most of the day, taking turns reading. Drop by whenever you like and for as long as you like. You can read just a sentence or a whole chapter. We’ll have refreshments on hand and pizza around lunchtime. Bring friends! It’ll be fun.

The full schedule is posted below. Let me know if you have questions!
