Northwestern accelerates quantum research with NVIDIA technology
September 3, 2025
Fall quarter is in full swing, and there’s plenty to add to your calendar, from an exhibition exploring how art and public health have intertwined to an opportunity to get renting resources. As always, all are welcome!
Public service art
See “A Century of Public Health: Then and Now,” a special exhibition exploring the power of graphic art in shaping public health awareness and action. During this dialogue and networking event, hear remarks from Dr. Ron Ackermann, director of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine, and Kristi Holmes, director of the Galter Health Sciences Library, then enjoy refreshments and tour the collection.
The event is at noon on Thursday, Oct. 9, in the Galter Health Sciences Library, mezzanine, Ward Building, 303 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago. RSVP here.
Celebrate the little things
Honor the big role of small things on National Nanotechnology Day with the Atomic and Nanoscale Characterization Experimental Center (NUANCE). Get a guided tour of the NUANCE facilities, play games, enter a raffle and find out the winner of this year’s Art of Science image contest.
The fun starts at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9, in the Willens Wing Atrium (B260), Technological Institute, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston. Register here.
Lease lessons
Looking to live off campus next year? Currently renting? Stop by the Office of Off-Campus Life’s Renting Declassified event for resources and snacks. Campus and community partners can teach you what to look for in a lease, your tenant rights, how to manage conflict with roommates and more.
Drop in starting at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, in the Wildcat Room, Norris University Center, 1999 Campus Drive, Evanston.
Music with a message
Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas joins the Contemporary Music Ensemble for a performance of his work “in vain,” which critic Alex Ross called “a modern masterpiece.” Performed partially in darkness, “in vain” is a reflection on the inevitability of cycles of authoritarianism and the unending need to push back.
The concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, in Galvin Recital Hall, Ryan Center for the Musical Arts, 70 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston. Buy tickets here.
Kick it with the ’Cats
Come out to cheer on women’s soccer as the ’Cats take on Rutgers by the lake.
The team plays at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 12, at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium, 2235 Campus Drive, Evanston.
Keeping kids healthy
The University of Washington’s Dr. Leslie R. Walker delivers the keynote lecture of the 2025 Health Research Symposium. Walker will speak about promoting adolescent health and advancing equity in pediatrics. A national leader in adolescent medicine, she focuses on preventing youth substance use and expanding access to evidence-based interventions.
The lecture is at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, on the first floor of Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center, 303 E. Superior St., Chicago. Learn more about the symposium and register here.
