University Calendar

DuPage Python Meetup Group

Aly Sivji will discuss testing in Python. Tests ensure our program works as intended and that changes do not break existing functionality. However, these benefits are not free; we need to have a plan to write our application and a plan to test it.

For more information please visit: https://www.meetup.com/DuPage-Python-Meetup/ or email Joseph Cursio (jcursio@ben.edu). You do not have to RSVP, but you will receive information regarding future events, and it will help me to order enough pizza.

Thanks to Innovation DuPage and Benedictine University for the free pop & pizza and the free meeting space.

Featuring acclaimed children's author and Benedictine Artist in Resident, Crystal Chan.

Crystal will share how she landed on a specific method of compassion-and its resulting commitment to realizing equality in this country. This type of compassion has impacted her activism, transformed her writing, and allowed her to hold and explore viewpoints that conflict with her own. She discovered how compassion healed relationships, fostered her own physical and mental health, and given her a glimpse of transcendence. Join us to learn how you can design a path for yourself.

A reception will follow the lecture. Free Admission and Open to the Public.

Featuring Instructor and Artist in Resident: Crystal Chan

Students of the experiential class, Writing Compassion, will be sharing their journey from analyzing and challenging their egos to gain greater mastery over their emotions. Join us to be inspired by the students' determination to sink their teeth deep into the heart of what makes compassion possible in this polarized world.

A reception will follow the performance. Free and open to the public.
