On Thursday, I met with Chris Eisgruber, the new provost, before having a faculty lunch with Elizabeth Armstrong (Woodrow Wilson School and Sociology), Charles Beitz (Politics), Michael Cook (Near Eastern Studies), Suzanne Staggs (Physics), Hank Farber (Economics), Leora Batnitzky (Religion), Chang-Rae Lee (Creative Writing), Andrew Appel (Computer Science) from left to right around the table.

Then I went to see artwork

and this picture that I took of the raw materials that made many of the paintings. At home that evening, I did a practice self profile and kept taking self portraits until I kept my eyes at least partially opened.
