Five things to look forward to this week

To start off your Monday morning right, here are a few events to look forward to this week including the Cougars taking on the Vanderbilt University Commodores, speaking on privacy being a human right or just plain annoying and Halloween-themed readings from The Glass Mountain.

October 27: “Privacy, A Human Right or a Nuisance?”

Student Center South Ballroom, Room 210 West

Veronika Tonry, Global Privacy Manager at Chevron will lead the discussion at 3 p.m. This event will be sponsored by The Center for Information Security Research and Education and the Cyber Security Club. All students and faculty are welcomed to join the conversation.

October 27: Glass Mountain Reading Series presents ‘Hallow Reading’

AD Bruce Religion Center, 2nd Floor

Glass Mountain is a national undergraduate literary magazine run by undergraduates at UH.

Glass Mountain’s second reading of the semester is Halloween-themed. Bring your most hallowed poetry and prose to read at the open mic at 7 p.m., or just come to listen to talented writers read their work – this month they are featuring one prose writer and two poets.

Any additional information can be provided by Mai Tram Nguyen, who can be reached at [email protected]

October 28: Diversity Workshop: Inclusive Language

Student Center South, Room 219 (Bayou City)

This workshop will focus on why language is important and how the words we use affect our perceptions and can sometimes influence our environment. The discussion will take place at noon. All workshops are open to UH students, faculty and staff.

For any additional information, contact Michael Crook at 713-743-6047 or by email at [email protected].

Participants must register online at uh.edu/cdi. Limited seating available.

October 29: Unique Holdings: Pseudoscience and the Occult

University of Houston Libraries is inviting staff, students and researchers to attend a brown bag lecture. English librarian Dr. Jesse Sharpe and library specialist Kristine Greive will present a discussion of unique items relating to pseudoscience and the occult housed in UH Special Collections.

October 31: UH Football vs. Vanderbilt University

TDECU Stadium

The Cougars will play the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday. Giveaways, presented by Koch, will include aluminum parking signs for the first 5,000 fans.
