Join with everyone from CS department one last time to celebrate the end of classes and the upcoming “Holiday Season”™ (in which people celebrate a wide variety of winter festivals, including but not limited to Hogswatchnight, Winterval, HumanLight, Chrismahanukwanzaka, Rohatsu, New Year's Day, Modranect, Yalda, Yule/Yuletide, Kwanzaa, Decemberween, Karachun, Hogmanay, Zamenhof Day, Festival of the Bells, Hanukkah, Winters Day, Festivus, Winterfair, Chrismukkah, Dong zhi, Saturnalia, Winter-een-mas, Kwanamus and The Festival of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun — apologies if your favorite celebration got missed in our list, with so many it's easy to lose track of one or two of them!).
For many of you, this will be your last chance to see everyone together before the winter break. We hope to see you there!
Note: For everyone enrolled in colloquium this party does count as an official colloquium and so we'd like to see you there just like we would for a regular colloquium.
HMC CS colloquium talks begin at 4:15pm sharp in Galileo Pryne on Thursdays. Prior to the talk, at 4:00pm, we have drinks and snacks in Hixon Court.
Some talks will take place at Pomona College, in room 101 of the Edmunds building (the new building on N. College Way that houses their Computer Science Department). These talks are considered part of our HMC colloquium series.

If you are a CS major, the Thursday 4:15–5:30pm time-slot belongs to CS Colloquium. An event is held every week at this time (sometimes at Pomona College).
You should plan on attending colloquium every week. To handle situations such as illness, Clinic site visits, forgetting to sign in, and so forth, you are allowed to miss three colloquia. Don't miss more than three!
There is a sign-in sheet at every colloquium. Do not forget to sign it, otherwise we won't know that you attended. Do not sign for other people—doing so would violate the honor code.
When we have external speakers, there will be an after-colloquium dinner, to which students are invited on a first-come, first-served basis.
