Engineers are some of the most powerful people in the world. They have native intelligence, talent in mathematics and science and are responsible for numerous major technological advances. They not only possess knowledge of theory, but also how to apply that theory to real world problem solving and the creation of marvelous inventions. It’s unfortunate that they are so often unsung heroes. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are often broad brushed as near mythical, larger-than-life, demi-gods. We …

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg  flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online. We have clothing (not costumes) in our closet that would fit well in the 16th century or the 23rd century. We can master any interest that piques our curiosity, whether it be making crème brule …

Hi there! I want to start a book club that focuses on non-fiction reads -- mostly what I tend to read are books about health and wellness, travel, animals, biographies, business, and in general, real things. I feel like I am alone out there, because every other book club I see is totally based on reading novels and other works of fiction. Unfortunately, it is rare for me to really enjoy a novel! I would love to see if other people in the area are interested in reading about the "real" stuff and …

Founded in 1872 by four young men who wanted to form a "Debating Club" to better prepare them for the world they faced, the club soon grew to over 40 members in the 1890s and reached a peak in the late 1940s when the club had over 100 members. Although initially they wanted to master such topics as parliamentary law, improve their social skills and their knowledge of literature, the club soon became a forum where Cantabridgeans could meet over dinner to discuss current events and listen to a deb …

Welcome! Let's be very clear with each other! Are you a driven music-professional with a type-a personality constantly on the go and striving to make it big in the industry?

This group was inspired by some research I came across in 2011 on the underrepresentation of minorities in design fields and the canon of design history. The goal of this group is to come together to think of ways we can stimulate discourse, reach out, research, uncover, break open, connect on a larger scale, and affect change concerning this issue. All are welcome. Please be interested in working together toward a larger, common goal, and not simply looking to "network!" There are many other de …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation’s musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation’s musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …
