April 16: Medieval & Renaissance Festival, 10:00am-4:00pm, Mendenhall 244 and Great Rooms, Brickyard. An
examination of what occurred in Medieval and Renaissance culture in the fields of science, engineering, finance, musical
theory and instrumentation, history, and literature and how this has informed and impacted our modern world. Only

April 21: Paperclips: A Documentary, 7-9pm, Wright Auditorium. As a part of Holocaust Remembrance, please join us for the inspiring production, “Paper Clips” which tells the story of the student of Whitwell Middle School in rural Whitwell, Tennessee learning about the Holocaust. Their “Paper Clips” project sparked one of the most inspirational and profound lessons in tolerance, in the least likely of places. A panel of student and community members, to include a Rabbi will conduct a Q&A after the production.

TOMORROW:
April 9: The Intersection of Faith and Science, 8:00pm, Science and Technology C207. Brian Miller, PhD will discuss
different perspectives on the interrelationship between faith and science. He will also describe how advances in science over
the past several decades have brought awareness of the appearance of design throughout nature. In addition, he will explain
how scientific theories based on atheistic versions of evolution and cosmology have increasingly proven incapable of
explaining the recent observations in physics and biology. Finally, special topics will be addressed, such as the danger of
appealing to the God of the Gaps and the implications of the faith-science dialogue in society. A question and answer session will follow Dr. Miller’s presentation.
