You are invited to join the Washington Program for a panel discussion "Putin's War in Ukraine and its Implications to the European Security Architecture." A year ago, Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, setting off the largest land war in Europe since the Second World War. What are its implications for the European security order? Will Finland and Sweden become new members of NATO? How should the West respond to Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons if threatened?

CMCers are coming to town! Each spring the students in Professor Ken Miller’s California Politics Class travel to the state capital to experience policy-making firsthand. What should they know about living in the heart of the Golden State? Gather with alumni and parents for a fun evening to connect, converse, and share your local insights.

Sacramento Event Registration

Join the CMC community to see and learn how a Santa Barbara staple, Twenty-Four Blackbirds, makes their artisanal chocolates.

This event has been postponed. Once it has been scheduled, we will post the new date here.

Join the Dallas and Ft. Worth CMC Community on the historic McKinney Avenue Transit trolley!

Dallas’ first streetcar company opened in 1872, running along Main Street to connect Downtown to the newly opened Houston & Texas Central Rail depot. Mules pulled the cars, much like a horse and buggy, until electric streetcars were introduced in 1890.

This event has been postponed. Once it has been scheduled, we will post the new date here.

Affirmative action has factored into college admission for nearly 50 years. In a 1978 case regarding Harvard University, Justice Lewis Powell ruled that race could be considered part of an applicant's profile, just as with other traits, such as athletic ability or academic potential. 

Fast forward to 2022, Harvard, and now UNC-Chapel Hill, are back in the spotlight as a new case sits in front of the Supreme Court. In the initial hearing, the Court, now made up of three Justices appointed under President Trump, appeared ready to overrule affirmative action. Justice Clarence Thomas famously said, "I've heard the word diversity quite a few times, and I don't have a clue what it means. It seems to mean everything for everyone." Assuming the ruling is struck down, what does this mean for the future of higher education admission? Will we see substantial change? 

Join us as Jennifer Sandoval-Dancs, Associate Vice President for Admission and Financial Aid, leads us in a conversation on this pressing topic and potential implications.

Do you prefer a light roast or a dark? For many of us, the answer to this question is the extent of our coffee knowledge. However each coffee has its own flavor profile influenced by climate, origin, and growth that far exceeds the grade of the roast. Join the CMC community for a Friday coffee tasting that will close your week on a high note and start your weekend with a bang!
 
CMC is partnering with Driftaway Coffee for this program. Driftaway is a Brooklyn-based, Asian American and Pacific Islander immigrant-owned business where coffee and its consumers are always the top priority. All coffee is shipped in plastic-free packaging that is compostable and made with 100% recycled paper. Not to mention, they operate a carbon-neutral and fair trade business.

While information coming out of the Kremlin should rarely be trusted, one thing is certain: Russian President Vladimir Putin never expected his assault on Ukraine would last this long. Not only has Ukraine put up a far greater fight than expected, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has become an international hero, with the global community rallying to his side. However, we're now reaching a point in the war that spans beyond most analysts' predictions of what would happen. What's next?
 
Join us for a discussion of this important topic led by Wendy Lower, director of the Mgrublian Center for Human Rights, John K. Roth Professor of History, and George R. Roberts Fellow, along with special guest Anna Romandash. Anna is a Mgrublian Center research affiliate and an award-winning journalist from Ukraine with extensive experience in Europe, the Middle East, and the U.S. When the invasion began, Anna became a voice for what was happening on the ground. Her work has been praised worldwide and she was recently named a Media Freedom Ambassador of Ukraine.

"Punch it!" That's what Han Solo famously said to Chewbacca as he put the Millennium Falcon into hyperspeed in The Empire Strikes Back. While the prospect of flying through space to reach uncharted galaxies feels far-fetched, it's much closer than we might assume. This year, the Webb Telescope "took us" to places we've never seen before, snapping pictures of forming stars and potentially habitable planets.

Participating in this type of science—exploring questions that don't fall within the traditional bounds of science classroom disciplines—is what CMC had in mind when it announced the new Robert Day Sciences Center. Join us as Ran Libeskind-Hadas, founding chair of the Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences, discusses how CMC is exploring new frontiers in its own right. How will a CMC science education look different from what you might find at other liberal arts colleges?

Don't miss out on the final opportunity to engage with CMC virtually before our summer recess and the conclusion of the Campaign for CMC: Responsible Leadership.

We hope to see you soon, and may the fourth (force!) be with you!
