Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who:
Have a specific concern and would like to consult with someone about it. Would like on-the-spot consultation rather than ongoing counseling. Would like to consult with a CS staff member about what actual therapy looks like. Would like to meet with one of our CS identity-based specialists. Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like some ideas about what to do.How does Let’s Talk work?
Let’s Talk will be offered via Zoom and/or in satellite locations across campus. As a drop-in service, there is no need to schedule an appointment and no paperwork to be completed. Students are seen individually on a first-come, first-served basis at the times listed below. There may be a wait in the Zoom waiting room if the Let’s Talk staff member is meeting with another student. Please wait and we will be with you as soon as we can. Let’s Talk appointments are brief (usually between 15-30 minutes) and are meant to be used on an as-needed basis.
4:00–6:00 p.m.
Network with a variety of public agencies, non-profit organizations, and businesses in a casual, fun “speed dating”-style event. Over the course of the event, you’ll have a chance to meet a new employer every 10 minutes!

5:00 p.m.–6:30 a.m.
First public lecture of our speaker series on "Mafia: The Cultures of Narcotraffic"
Adriana Miramontes, Curator of Latin American Art at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art will speak on "Necroarchives" followed by Q&A.
There will be refreshments available at 6:00.
5:00 p.m.–6:30 a.m.
This term-long colloquium (RL623) looks at the ways in which disposable bodies and violence are fast becoming a cultural currency associated with the kingpin culture of narcotraffic. This is a key debate for which the humanities and the social sciences are very well positioned to encourage critical thinking of the consumer culture (both Netflix shows, as well as drug consumerism) undergirding the glamorization of narcotraffic. This program includes the Film Series on Monday evenings (GSH123 6-8.30pm) and various speakers on different Wednesday evenings (5-6.30pm), as a way to engage with pressing issues of human rights, globalization, and global health. These cultural texts need to be critically accessed through a humanistic inquiry into the production of networks of cultural representations that endorse honor codes, impunity, naturalized political corruption, and the (de)valorization of the human body, all part of the glorification of narcotraffic, itself an epitome of capitalist accumulation and neoliberal deregulation.
