Leadership Roundtable Kickoff Event

[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 05:00:00 09/18/12
In this kickoff session, Associate Dean of Students Renee Alexander convenes the Leadership Roundtable for the first time, and describes their charge, and leaders of represented student organizations introduce themselves. The Leadership Roundtable is an initiative designed specifically to gather student leaders from across campus, and bring them together to think, brainstorm, advise, and problem-solve. This idea came about after observing student leaders dealing with conflict but not having strong communications networks between groups who knew each other. Spring semester gave us the Margaret Cho poster controversy and Sigma Pi bias incident. The Center for Intercultural Dialogue began to think about how differently we might've handled these situations with a strong student "think tank" involved. Over the summer, student leaders were invited to help launch this concept and sit on a body that will meet once a month for dinner and discussion, but be ready on short notice when conflict, controversy, or emergencies arise. They will be tasked with forging a solutions/outcomes-based body which is collaborative, consultative, and results-oriented.

In the spring of 2010, Steven Strogatz, Cornell's Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics, wrote a fifteen-part series on the elements of math, from basic to baffling, for The New York Times . To his surprise--and his editor's--each piece climbed the most e-mailed list and elicited hundreds of appreciative comments. In this talk, Strogatz will describe his adventures in bringing math to the masses and will offer a preview of his new book, The Joy of X: A Guided Tour of Math , from One to Infinity, as well as his sequel series for the Times this fall. A renowned teacher, one of the world's most highly cited mathematicians, and a frequent guest on NPR's RadioLab , Strogatz has received numerous awards for his research, teaching, and public service, including a Communications Award from the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics (2007) for lifetime achievement in the communication of mathematics to the general public.
