A full slate of programs and activities awaited Camels of all ages on Friday including a memorial exhibition of work by emeritus professor of Chinese Charles Chu, a speed networking workshop, and performances from the Connecticut College Theater Department, the College's seven a cappella groups, and PRISM.

Shain Library is celebrating Charles Chu’s 100th birthday this weekend. Chu (1918-2008), a master painter and calligrapher known for his sweeping watercolors, was an emeritus professor of Chinese at Conn and built the College’s unique collection of East Asian art.

During the afternoon, student clubs and organizations sold swag and goodies at Harvestfest, a Fall Weekend tradition, and enjoyed an afternoon of fun on the green. Alumni sat on panels and discussed life after Conn from careers to activism. The night ended with a guest lecture from plant ecologist Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, a performance from the Dance Theatre of Harlem, and a dance under the tent on Tempel Green.

Harvestfest: an annual #CCFallWeekend tradition where student clubs fundraise for their orgs.

Hey camels, sorry this is a late one! It has been a busy day of Harvest Fest activities! I had a shift at the Walk-in Coffee Closet, met up with my parents for a picnic on temple green, did some thrift shopping at the local Goodwill, attended a talk from guest lecturer and Plant Ecologist Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, went to our sailing team’s Fall Fundraiser, and watched the Dance Theater of Harlem’s performance in Palmer Auditorium. The night is still young... Tent Dance is 10:00pm-1:00am! ???????? #fallingforconn #fall #dance #demingfam -NPD
