The on-again, off-again CSH Seminar Series will be running its first seminar of the quarter on Friday, November 13th at 4:30pm in room 70-3435. Our guest is none other than Kevin Purdy, Buffalo newswriter and Senior Editor for Lifehacker; his topic, in his own words, will be "How Do We Fix the God-Awful Comments on the Net?" See you there!

The first RIT open house event of the quarter is set for Saturday the 26th, and as always, we'll be there! Come see us, along with the other Special Interest Houses, on the first floor of Nathaniel Rochester Hall (Building 43) between 11am and 4pm. Our guides will be happy to give you a tour of our floor, show you some of our projects, and answer any questions you have about CSH or RIT in general.

Interested in joining CSH, but want to see what it's all about in person? We're on it! Our very first open house of the 2009 school year is right on the first day of classes: Monday, September 7th. Come visit our table at the Sundial outside Gracie's between 10am and late-afternoonish, and we'll take you up to CSH for a tour!
