From Camille, "The Psychology of Stereotypes, Identity, and Perception" at Missouri History Museum Thursday

Connect 4's Co-VP Camille Young sent the following message regarding an event that many Connect 4 members will be attending Thursday before our Pre-Activities Fair meeting. Please let her know if you will be attending by emailing connect4.wustl@gmail.com


As you all know, this Thursday, we will be having of first meeting of the year at 9pm in Seigle Hall. Before hand I was hoping that we could, as a group, attend an amazing lecture at the Missouri History Museum, entitled "In the Mind's Eye: The Psychology of Stereotypes, Identity and Perception," at 7pm. The lecture is being led by our very own Alan J. Lambert, associate professor of Psychology at Washington University. I've attached the events link:http://www.mohistory.org/node/3755

As our campus' premier diversity awareness group, I believe it is important that we educate ourselves on the complexities of discrimination and stereotyping, and this is a great opportunity for us to do so! (as well as group bonding ^_^)

This semester, our group is seeing a lot of changes; from choosing a new name, starting new initiatives, and to potentially becoming apart of SU. As we undergo these changes, it is important that we remain on our "A" game. In order to do so, De, Lexi, and myself are looking to promote and acknowledge the diversity within our own group as well as comradery.

So, if you would like to go and can make it this Thursday, to the History Museum at 7pm before our first meeting, please contact me no later that 12pm on Thursday. The museum is on the Metro Link line at Forest Park and we can ride it together.


Thanks guys, and hope to see and hear from you all soon!
