First Friday Lunch - February 1st, 2013

Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon buffet at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton PhD candidate presents his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!


This month, we will be joined by Australian composer Kate Neal, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Music.  As a composer and arranger, she has worked across such artistic disciplines as dance, feature film, animation, theater and concert music.  Kate is the recipient of various awards and fellowships, receiving scholarships from a broad array of countries, colleges and more.  Examples of her work can be found at www.kateneal.com.  Don't miss this exciting event!

Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes the Nassau Club’s full buffet as well as a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink). Pre-registration is required.

First Friday Lunch with Nadezhda Savova, PhD in Anthropology

Nadezhda told the group about The Bread Houses Network, which she initiated while was conducting her PhD research in the Department of 
Anthropology at Princeton. While studying the social role of community 
cultural centers networks in Brazil, Cuba, and Bulgaria, Nadezhda started to connect these 
networks and help them develop exchanges and projects. In 2008 while working for 
UNESCO’s Culture Sector in Paris she founded the  International Council for Cultural 
Centers (I3C), www.international3c.org, which is a global network of community cultural 
centers, already connecting 56 national networks with thousands of centers, scattered from 
rich urban places to some of the most marginalized neighborhoods of the world, proving that 
art is and should be for everyone.

We look forward to hearing about Nadezhda's continued successes as she further develops the network.

Feb 17 - Movie Night

Cold weather got you down? We've got the cure. Finally, another PA5 (Princeton Area Alumni Association Automobile Aficionados) movie night.

When: February 17th. Meet up at 3 PM for beverages and hanging out. 4 PM show time. Junk food dinner to follow.

Where: John Epstein's House (11 Madison Dr., Princeton Junction, NJ 08550)

Feature Film: Senna 

Movie Description (blatently pirated from Amazon.com): Fans of car racing, especially the elite Formula One format, will get a rush from the excellent documentary Senna, a profile of the rock star-handsome Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna. But Senna is a film that all audiences can enjoy--because of its big heart and its engaging portrayal of its star. And the riveting footage of Senna's Formula One races, and his knife-edge daring behind the wheel, don't hurt either. Ayrton Senna grew up in Brazil, where he began his love affair with driving as a competitive go-kart racer at the age of 13. Senna follows young Ayrton's journey into full-fledged racing, and allows Senna's gentle personality to shine through as he begins to make his name in racing circles. The viewer learns that Senna loved the Catholic Church almost as much as he loved racing, and his humility and his ongoing love for his fellow Brazilians, especially those in poverty, would be themes that lasted throughout his life. Senna would go on to become one of Formula One's best and most accomplished competitors ever--and his steely nerves and willingness to take risks on the track paid off in Grand Prix after Grand Prix. Senna, deftly directed by Asif Kapadia (Far NorthThe Warrior), lets the singular personality and charisma of Senna--and the spectacular theatrics of F-1 racing--tell his story without any forced drama or fanfare. Though Senna's racing career would be far too short, his legacy lives on, and Senna is a gripping reminder of how blazing a talent can be--even behind the wheel of a car. --A.T. Hurley

First Friday Lunch with Jamol Pender, PhD Candidate in ORFE

FIRST FRIDAY LUNCH AT THE NASSAU CLUB

On December 7th, 2012, PA3 was pleased to host Jamol Pender, a 5th year graduate student in Operations Research and Financial Engineering within the Engineering School. Jamol is research­ing queue­ing the­ory inspired by prob­lems in com­mu­ni­ca­tions centers. While his thesis focuses on queues, he has interests in applied probability, energy, healthcare, mathematical finance and mathematical biology.  

Jamol told us a bit about his path to Princeton and how he got into Operations Research.  Then he gave the group an overview of his research at Princeton. As usual at PA3's First Friday lunches, a lively discussion followed the formal presentation.
