A talk by Nita Farahany.

We’re in an era where the lines between technology and the human mind are increasingly blurred. Imagine a world where your thoughts, feelings, and unspoken words become an open book, where doctors can catch disorders long before symptoms start to develop—or your boss can monitor your thoughts at work.

University of Puget Sound will be hosting DataFest during the weekend of March 27-29, 2026! It is a team based, friendly competition that takes place over a weekend of hanging out with friends and analyzing a secret dataset to win prizes and do Data For Good!

It is open to teams of 2-5 students from any area of study. We also seek volunteers from the community and/or alumni to serve as mentors and judges. 

Celebrate Pride with your LGBTQ+ campus community and Tacoma on April 10th! With participation from queer student artists, Tacoma community members, local drag artists, and more! From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a special coffee cart hosted by Diversions Cafe! Open to the entire campus community. 

E.J. Crocker, Brady McCowan, and Brady Kish - all Puget Sound alums whose musical talents regularly grace local clubs and events - provide a free welcome back to the spring semester concert.
