<p>A lot of prefrosh worry that Caltech ignores the Humanities and Social Scienes or doesn't have enough breadth or depth in these fields. This year, we have a forum specifically to address those concerns, with short talks from top professors and current students and a Q&A session. </p>
<p>I was asked by the Division Chair to talk about my experiences and perspective on things other than the hard sciences at Caltech. So there are two good reasons to go: one is to find out Caltech's (perhaps unexpected) breadth and depth, and the other is so that I can finally meet many of you who are currently just usernames. (Obviously, I'll be around at other times too, but it'll be easy to find me here.)</p>
<p>The forum is at 1:30 on Friday in the Beckman Institute Auditorium (#74 on the map</a>).</p>
<p>Come!</p>
<p><em>bounce bounce bounce</em></p>
<p>Awesome! Economics is one thing, but the chance to meet Ben Golub? I'm in haha ;-).</p>
<p>Ben, I hope you've taken an art history class because they're quite good. The prof. is a curator at the Huntington Library and on monday we had class there :)</p>
<p>Hehe,</p>
<p>Ben, the Tool of The Man :-P One time, he was the student asked to represent the Institute's students at the milestone of raising $1 billion of the $1.4 billion goal... this was announce immediately after an announcement of a tuition hike of around 9% from the year before. I believe the Pasadena Star-News covered the story, but it's probably in the archives now. I'm trying to get an ASCIT subscription, though, so maybe I'll be able to post it.</p>
<p>On another note, the art history class is supposed to be one of the most interested, if you're the slightest bit interested in that subject.</p>
<p>I'm excited. I'm planning to go to the math, social sciences, and biology one. I'm going to meet Ben? Haha...I'm leaving in a few minutes actually. See everybody there!</p>
