Our new Screening Room celebrated its grand opening on Tuesday, October 27, with movie-style refreshments and very interesting talks by historians Jonathan Marwil and Martin Pernick on their use of film in teaching.
The Screening Room features a multimedia projector and surround sound and supports a wide range of media formats. You can reserve it to screen films for courses, films you have created, and more.
Read more about the Screening Room. And watch for future events - like Halloween movies.
