Hey directors! What was your favorite colloquium? COLLOQU

Dr. Bob Horan

Dr. Lopa Basu

Dr. Chris Ferguson

My favorite Colloquium book might be Roving Mars: Spirit, Opportunity, and the Exploration of the Red Planet , by Stephen Squyres, which we arrived at accidentally, via Chuck Bomar. In any event, I must have been ready to read a book length ac- count of the differences between science and engineering because I enjoyed it and went on to use what I learned from it.

I began to say Plato’s Apology but I have to change my vote to Stephen Hawkins’ A Brief History of Time . It was truly a mind blowing work and even though it was hard to read a book on physics, it was so fascinating. I felt a great sense of accomplishment being able to say I led a discussion on it.

My favorite colloquium was What if ? – not because of the book so much as the way we did something different with the table activities. I also really enjoyed Dracula , having never read it before. I also had a frantic sprint to finish reading it in the days leading up to colloquium, which made me feel all the more connected to Van Helsing and the characters racing to track down Dracula!
