Enjoy good Colgate company and cheer on our Raiders! - 9:00 AM8hHomecoming: Remote Work & Networking LoungeToday's Events | Benton Hall, 200
Alumni are invited to Benton Hall for a quiet remote-work area and a space to network with Career Services staff and students. This will serve as the perfect spot for guests to stay productive while still being part of the celebration. Light refreshments will be available throughout the day. - 10:00 AM7hPicker Art Gallery Exhibition: X: Gender, Identity, PresenceToday's Events | Dana Arts Center, Picker Art Gallery, 2nd Floor
Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-TÃn Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists. - 10:00 AM7hPicker Art Gallery Exhibition: X: Gender, Identity, PresenceThe Arts | Dana Arts Center, Picker Art Gallery, 2nd Floor

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department (315-228-7633), during regular working hours, to ensure the gallery will be open.

Conducting research with undergraduates can be one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching, but it doesn’t always unfold as smoothly as we hope or plan. In this session, Amy Leventer, professor of earth and environmental geosciences and CLTR Faculty Fellow, will facilitate a conversation focused on mentoring undergraduate students in research. Drawing on a wide range of personal experiences, Amy will offer reflections on what she’s learned, while inviting participants to share their own successes, challenges, and lessons along the way. Together, we’ll work toward building a shared roadmap for more positive and productive mentoring experiences.To help us plan for an appropriate amount of food, we kindly ask you to register for the event. - 12:15 PM1hSupporting Undergraduate Research: Reflections from the Lab and FieldToday's Events | Lathrop Hall, 107 (Conference Room)

Join us for an NASC Colloquium on "Reversals of the Large-Scale Circulation in Thermal Convection" presented by Nick Moore, assistant professor of mathematics.Thermal convection, or the tendency of heat to rise and cool material to descend, often gives rise to a large-scale circulatory flow structure. It is known that the large-scale circulation (LSC) can undergo spontaneous reversals. In the atmosphere, reversals can result in a sudden change in wind direction, while in Earth’s liquid core, reversals may play a role in magnetic dipole shifts. Moore will discuss LSC reversals in the context of 2D annular thermal convection. A newly constructed model describes a range of LSC behaviors that have been observed in laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, including a state of consistent, uninterrupted circulation, a state of chaotic LSC reversals, and a paradoxical state of turbulent flow yet regular LSC reversals. Unlike heuristic models, the new model is firmly linked to first principles, and it offers new predictions for the timing of LSC reversals that are shown to agree closely with direct numerical simulations. I will briefly discuss extensions of the model, including one that accurately recovers the gross heat transport.Reception to follow in the Ho Science lower atrium. - 3:30 PM1hReversals of the Large-Scale Circulation in Thermal ConvectionAcademics | Ho Science Center, 101
