A large selection of additional works from the 119 William Hogarth engravings included in the CU Art Museum’s permanent collection are also on view, such as the complete Marriage A-la-Mode and The Four Times of Day series, selections from the Industry and Idleness and The Four Stages of Cruelty series, the plates created for Hogarth’s aesthetic treatise The Analysis of Beauty, as well as numerous individual prints. Also on view are published Hogarth works from the Special Collections Department, Norlin Library, University Libraries as well as a video of the 1975 Glyndebourne Festival Opera production of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress, with stage and costume designs by David Hockney, allowing audiences to experience a major performance inspired by the similarly titled Hogarth and Hockney print series.

Monday, September 10, 2012 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, Discovery Learning Center Lobby - Engineering Complex
Meet students from the Biomedical Engineering Society. This event will run much like a Chamber of Commerce "Business After Hours," or a networking evening at a national conference you may have attended. Students will be asked to make up business cards, and will be there to LEARN the art of networking. However, we also want to make this a true networking opportunity. Please limit your company registration to two people unless your company is one of our sponsors. Dress for this event is business or business casual attire. Please bring plenty of business cards, and help the students learn the art of networking by giving them some pointers at the event. As business professionals, you have had plenty of networking experience, and know the art of "working a room." We are counting on you to show the students how it is done.

At 7:00pm, attending employer representatives will introduce themselves, so that students will get an idea of who is with what company. 

Non-alcoholic drinks and appetizers will be served. 
Questions about this networking event? Please contact Suzy Shotts at Suzann.Shotts@colorado.edu

Event Image Live Faculty Talk: Odometers of Time - 2012 is NOT the End
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Myth: In 700 AD, the Maya predicted the end of the world on 21 December 2012. Or else the date marks the beginning of a positive and physical transformation for the Earth.

Fact: The Maya of Central America used many calendars to record important historical events and to chronicle time periods. They were masters at identifying the movements of planets, the phases of the moon and sun, and 
could even predict eclipses. They did not, however, foretell the end of the world. 

To sort out the facts from the fiction, archaeologist and epigrapher Inga Calvin, University of Colorado-Boulder Anthropology Department, discusses the writing and calendar systems used by the Maya from AD 200-909. View the latest archaeological discoveries, look at the data, and ponder the evidence.

Addressing information inequities to reduce health disparities for Korean-American immigrants

Health information is a critical resource for guiding decisions about health care and health promotion. Yet, immigrants are often disconnected from the relevant health information they need. Korean-Americans, in particular, encounter serious problems with cancer morbidity and mortality due to communication breakdowns within the health care system. This presentation will describe an intensive field research and intervention program designed to address information inequities and reduce health disparities for this large and growing immigrant population. This research underscores development of a new communication model for reducing health disparities.

Fact: The Maya of Central America used many calendars to record important historical events and to chronicle time periods. They were masters at identifying the movements of planets, the phases of the moon and sun, and 
could even predict eclipses. They did not, however, foretell the end of the world. 

To sort out the facts from the fiction, archaeologist and epigrapher Inga Calvin, University of Colorado-Boulder Anthropology Department, discusses the writing and calendar systems used by the Maya from AD 200-909. View the latest archaeological discoveries, look at the data, and ponder the evidence.

React to Film Documentary: Escape Fire, The Fight to Rescue America
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Program Council is proud to present our first React To Film documentary of the year, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare. This movie will is FREE and will take place in the VAC Auditorium (room 1B20) at 7:30pm on Wednesday, September 19th.


:: Summary ::

...
ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: what can be done to save our broken medical system? The film examines the powerful forces trying to maintain the status quo in a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. After decades of resistance, a movement to bring innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing into our high-tech, costly system is finally gaining ground. ESCAPE FIRE follows dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. The film is about a way out, about saving the health of a nation.
