ChatLive Discussion Group

What is ChatLive?

ChatLive are informal discussions over lunch (free pizza!) during which you explore interesting ideas with other students. It's a great way to get a notation on your academic transcript while discussing topics such as environmental sustainability, the psychology of riots, Facebook, art, activism, films and more. ChatLive sessions take place on Thursdays in the Cedar building, room 120 (from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) during the spring 2012 semester. Sign up for three of the sessions to get a notation on your academic transcript.
