De-Stress Fest

Taking a break from studying is important to reduce stress, improve focus, and refresh your mind and body. Join us during Reading Period for an array of activities, movie screenings, free snacks and drinks, and therapy dogs!

See the schedule of events and locations below. We hope to see you there!

Writing your NSF Data Management and Sharing Plan

Applying for NSF funding? Join Tisch Library for a Zoom workshop on NSF Data Management and Sharing Plans.

All NSF proposals must include a two-page Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP), outlining how your research data will be managed, shared, and preserved. This workshop will cover the general NSF guidelines for writing a DMSP, directorate/division-specific guidance, and how to use DMPTool to find DMSP templates. We’ll discuss your options for meeting NSF data sharing requirements, as well as best practices that can enhance your plan.

Illustrator Improv

Join us for snacks and a relaxing, playful exploration of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector-based 2D design program used for graphic design, typesetting, and (unsurprisingly) illustration, but it’s not a typical “drawing” program like you might be familiar with if you’ve used Photoshop or ProCreate. This event will help you understand how to start developing a visual language by experimenting with shape, color, and scale with a focus on exploration and process more than product. There is no previous experience with Illustrator required.

see. hear. reflect.

Come hang out in the DDS and explore objects close-up with our 200x macro smartphone lens and unconventional microphones.  Low stake prompts and reflections will help encourage curiosity for seeing and listening in different ways. Light snacks will be available. Feel free to bring your objects to listen or look at!
