Student-Led Activities

Think Tank

"Just bring an open mind and an empty stomach!"
 
Think Tank is a student-directed organization sponsored by the Levitt Center that strives to increase dialogue between professors and students outside the classroom. On Fridays from 12 p.m. to 12:50 p.m., students and other members of the Hamilton community gather for lunchtime discussions in KJ 102, which are facilitated by a faculty member.

Benjamin Hootnick and Mikayla Irle are working together as Think Tank co-directors for the 2011-12 academic year.
