SUMMARY:Second Saturday Poetry Salon
DESCRIPTION:A comfortable environment to share your work or talk about poems and poets who interest you. Poets of all levels are welcome\, but these free programs are intended for adults. \nNovember’s optional prompt is “Confessional.” \nThere will be a short talk at 7:40 on November’s featured poet\, Sylvia Plath\, from queer poet and artist Shailyn Elliott. When Shailyn Elliott isn’t writing\, they can be found crocheting or doodling with watercolors. They currently reside in Ohio with their black cat names Catastrophe. \nGiven the powerful and intensely personal nature of confessional poetry\, we are setting aside the first half-hour or so for poems that are not confessional in nature. Don’t be shy! Come out and read us some poems! \nFree bottled water\, coffee\, and cookies. \nThis program may run longer or shorter depending on attendance.

SUMMARY:How to Make Learning as Addictive as Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Join Sinclair’s Associate Provost Lisa Mahle-Grisez & Assistance Provost\, Jared Cutler\, for a discussion and viewing of the pre-recorded TedTalk by Luis Von Ahn.

He explains how Duolingo harnesses the psychological techniques of social media and mobile games to get you excited to learn — all while spreading access to education across the world. \nThis event will be held in Sinclair’s Tartan Marketplace\, Bldg. 7\, Room 7006. Once you enter the set of glass doors to building 7 Tartan Marketplace\, the conference room is to your right\, through the doorway across the area of tables.
