Lecture: Monti Washington - "From the Streets to the Stage"

A product of a one night stand, abused in foster home after foster home, and raised sleeping in parks were just a few of the daunting obstacles in Monti’s journey from the streets to the stage.

This is an interactive presentation, designed to help students gain the problem solving skills needed to be successful, both inside and outside of the classroom. Through crowd participation, story telling, and poetry, students will be engaged, encouraged, and empowered to make it from the streets of their minds, to the stage of their dreams.

Senator Nobles is a proud Puget Sound alumna (‘06, MAT ’07). Not every career follows a direct path—and that’s okay. Paths to Purpose is an alumni speaker series that explores the idea of planned happenstance—the idea that being open to new experiences, taking risks, and saying “yes” to opportunities (even the unplannedones) can shape your future in powerful ways.

Daedalus Lecture with George Erving

The Daedalus Lecture Series carves out a space for academic discussion, offering both a platform for sharing innovative work and the opportunity to come together as a diverse scholarly community. Rather than a teaching lecture, the presentations are conceived as a way to converse with and learn from one another in ways that enrich our community and broaden our interdisciplinary knowledge. Daedalus Lectures are intended to facilitate the sharing of research among colleagues.
