Harry Potter Trivia coming April 15
Are you a Harry Potter enthusiast? Did you grow up reading Harry Potter books, watching the movies, dressing up for Halloween as one of the beloved characters? Well, it’s time for you to escape from differential equations and Calculus II for an hourand join your fellow engineering peers for an IN-PERSON Harry Potter Trivia Night!
Escape to Hogwarts: A Harry Potter Trivia Night
Thursday, April 15 | 7-9 p.m.
In person at ECCS 201
(The newclassroom/auditorium in the Rustandy Building, the engineering/business school connector)
Students who RSVP will receive an additional email with more details about the event.
This event will be hosted by Associate Dean Rhonda Hoenigman and Professor Scot Douglass, director of the Engineering Honors Program.
Rhonda doesn’t know as much about Harry Potter as her co-star, but she couldn’t resist the cool hat. She is a faculty member in computer science and enjoys teaching the wonders of computing. In her spare time, she can be found building stuff in her garage and contemplating the nature of the universe.
Scot first taught his highly popular course “Harry Potter and the Conflict of Being” just before book 7 was published.He is teaching it again in spring 2022 (3 upper-division H&SS credit hours). During the rest of his time, he directs the Andrews Hall Residential Academic Program where he has lived with his family for the past 12 years and is a faculty member of the Herbst Program of Engineering, Ethics & Society.
The Engineering Social Club is excited about getting CU College of Engineering & Applied Science students together safelyfor this fun, exhilarating, yet relaxing (unless you are a competitive sort) event. Special CEAS swag will be given to all participants!
Note: This event is a celebration of the Harry Potter Universe and does not represent or endorse the non-inclusive public statements bythe author of the books.

Answering your questions on the Inclusive Culture Council
Emily Mitzak andElla Sarder are the undergraduate members on the college's ad hoc Inclusive Culture Committee, a group formed to create a council to coordinate justice, equity, diversity and inclusion efforts within the college.
The ad hoc committee recently published its proposalfor an Inclusive Culture Council at CU Engineering and asked for feedback from students, facultyand staff. Many students shared feedback about the formation of this council and its goals. Ella and Emily wrote this article to address some of the questions and concerns undergraduate and graduate students expressed in their feedback.
The college faculty will vote on whether to add the Inclusive Culture Council to the college rules during a meeting on May 11.
