A Bite of Learning Series

A Bite of Learning Session“A Bite of Learning” is a new series sponsored jointly by CIS and the Honnold Library.  It takes place (roughly bi-weekly) at lunchtime in the Aviation Room in the Hoch Shanahan Dining Commons. Elizabeth Hodas (CIS) and Jezmynne Dene (Honnold Library) conceived the series as a way to share topics of interest with the Claremont community in an informal lunch setting.  

We’ll be inviting speakers from CIS and the Library to teach short topics, describe new technology or share a new project they’re working on. We’ll also be inviting speakers from outside the colleges on occasion.

All HMC faculty, staff and students are casually invited. Please feel free to bring your lunch to the table in the Aviation Room and liven up your meals with "A Bite of Learning."
