The Week Ahead (December 3-9)

This reading week, don’t let the stress of finals get you down. Give yourself a break from studying and check out some of the many fun and relaxing events happening across campus!

Write Night

Tuesday, December 4 from 8:00- 11:45 PM, University Library (Core)

Whether you’re struggling with research or just want to enjoy some pizza as you crank out that final paper, you can come to the library for some help. Writing Place consultants and research experts will be available to answer questions. Additionally, study breaks every hour offering coloring sheets and trivia will allow students a chance to relax and unwind. To learn about other events offered by the library throughout reading week, visit the Northwestern library website.

Don’t miss out on your chance to register for the Northwestern Externship Program (NEXT), a one-day program that allows current Northwestern students to shadow alumni on the job in an industry of their choice. Externships can take place any day between March 25 through April 26. To register, visit the Northwestern Externship program website and create an account.

Night of the Comet

Thursday, December 6 from 7:00- 9:00 PM, Block Museum

Come see a free screening of Night of the Comet, the final installment in the Block Museum’s film series “Women at the End of the World.” A cult favorite sci-fi movie about survivors of a near-apocalypse sorting through their new world while trying to avoid zombies, Night of the Comet addresses many of the same political, cultural, and ecological anxieties as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
