The Science of Willpower, Intentions, and How to Have Endless Energy
Pound Hall 101- Informed by the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, this session examines how willpower, burnout, and energy operate in demanding professional settings.

What happens when the bar of perfection is too high? And what can we do daily to have more energy?

Tariffs and Trade: the Choices That Led Us Here and What Comes Next
Langdell Hall, 225 North- The hyper-active tariff and trade actions of the current U.S. administration have been bewildering to many inside and outside the United States. But it is clear to those who have been on the front lines of U.S. trade policy and domestic labor policy, that these are the consequence of choices in law, policy, and politics that the United States and its leaders have made over recent decades. Drawing on their respective backgrounds, Prof. Sharon Block and former U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai ’01 will examine through conversation, the origins of today’s tariffs and trade turmoil, the latest developments, and where we as a nation – and as a world – go from here.
