Medieval Hymns for Advent

Join Tisch Special Collections and the Tufts University Chaplaincy for a presentation of medieval music for the season of Advent during services on Sunday, December 8th in Goddard Chapel!

Our Manuscript 27 is a late 14th century Italian antiphonal, a choir book designed for the singing of monastic prayers - in this case, chants for the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany.

At the 5:00 PM Catholic Mass and the 7:00 PM Protestant Worship, members of the Tufts community will sing selections from this manuscript.

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! 

Cozy Film Screening

Relax and recharge in the DSDI Community Research Hub (Tisch 224) before finals!

Join us on Wednesday, December 11th between 12:30-3:30pm to unwind with friends, food, drinks, and a cozy film.
