How can art bear witness to the most difficult truths, help communities heal and promote action? Material Witness: Then and Now, a mixed-media exhibit by Boston artist and Tisch College Coordinator Nancy Marks, draws on her mother's experience as a Holocaust survivor to explore how creativity processes loss, amplifies voices, and sparks dialogue. It also examines how memory, history, and civic responsibility intersect with the realities facing immigrants today. Marks uses printmaking, poetry and excerpts from her mother’s memoir. Material Witness: Then and Now will be installed in the Barnum Hall lobby in early October, and this Civic Life Lunch gives participants the opportunity to engage more deeply with the exhibit alongside the artist. Nancy will guide participants through the exhibit and share her perspective on how art can carry forward stories, histories, and collective memory. Together, we’ll consider how civic engagement is not only about action in the present, but also about the ways we remember and honor the past. Registration required, all are welcome. Lunch provided. Learn more about Nancy Marks and her work.

A PhD in astronomy or astrophysics may sound like a great idea — and often it is — but how do you get there, and is it the right path for you? This information session will help you answer these two questions. It’s relevant both for students who are about to apply and for those who may be considering it a few  years down the line. While the session is primarily focused on astronomy graduate school, much of the information will also apply to physics programs. The workshop will include plenty of time for Q&A, so come prepared with your questions — and consider asking yourself some of the ones below ahead of time.
