Showcase 2012

This annual symposium offers a full day of lectures and discussions.  This year, each event is grouped under three headings: Style, The State of the State, and Science and the Citizen. Beginning at 9:30am, there will be a short welcome, followed by three offerings, one for each of the three topics. The first will start at 10:00am, the next at 11:00am, and so on through the day. You can pick and choose among the sessions as you wish. Included under “Style” will be lectures and discussions on artistic style, on popular music, on theatre, and on various other subjects. “The State of the State” will include a review of the Connecticut economy, and sessions on the environment, on the upcoming elections, and on education. “Science and the Citizen” will explore such issues as stem cell research, ubiquitous computing, and sustainability.

A box lunch will be provided and the day will end with a reception hosted by President Walter Harrison.
