Gray Fund Arts & Culture invites you to enter the lottery for a chance to see comedians Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng roast-style comedy debate. Here's the description for the show: During these divided times, many people believe that open dialogue and discourse are the only tools to mend a wounded nation. Comedians Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng believe the opposite: Hatred is the answer.  This is not one of those tours where two friends co-headline a show so they can go on vacation together. Ronny and Hasan despise one another. And for one night only, in 19 cities, they will air their grievances—onstage, at the same time—about America, each other, and each other’s entire family trees—for a paying audience.  The format? A DEBATE TO THE DEATH. Imagine CNN’s Presidential Townhall that’s somehow more demented and with less decorum. This will be a race to the bottom.  Minhaj and Chieng will face off about America’s most urgent issues: Presidents, War, the Economy, Immigration, Infrastructure, Food,… Organization: Gray Fund.

Eliot Award Lecture by Amelia Hard '67: "Reflections on Food, Activism, James Beard, and a Public Market in Portland"

"Reflections on Food, Activism, James Beard, and a Public Market in Portland" Amelia Hard '67 looks back on 40 years as an anti-hunger activist in Portland's food community and on the decades-long effort to create a public market in Portland celebrating the legacy of James Beard. Chef, restaurateur, educator, and hunger-fighting advocate, Amelia Hard '67 has spent over 40 years working within Oregon's food community. For eleven years, she and her husband Fred ran Genoa, one of Portland’s most influential restaurants, and played a central role in establishing Portland’s reputation as a food mecca and a trendsetter in the farm-to-table movement. She also volunteered with the anti-hunger nonprofit Share our Strength and for ten years chaired an annual Portland fundraiser for hunger relief under their auspices.  After selling Genoa, she taught cooking classes and established a nutrition education program at Oregon Food Bank using local chefs as volunteer cooking instructors for Portlanders on food… Organization: Alumni Relations.

Camp Westwind 2026 Oct 2-4

This event is put on by Alumni Relations for alumni of Reed College. Current students over the age of 21 are welcome! Departure for Camp Westwind is Friday, October 2 at noon, returning to Reed Sunday, October 4 around 3 p.m.   Since 2002, Reedies and their families have packed their bags and ventured to the Oregon coast for a weekend of unplugged fun, coastal hikes, and campfire philosophizing at Camp Westwind. This is a chance to visit an otherwise inaccessible beach on the coast, eat top-tier meals (including fish prepared by Meat Smoke and fresh crab caught by alumni), watch shooting stars, and splash in a bioluminescing ocean. ,   Westwind is not a programmed weekend; outside of mealtimes with other Reedies, your time is your own. Stay in heated cabins with electrical outlets or pitch your tent in the woods—you decide!    Visit alumni.reed.edu/westwind to learn more and purchase tickets. Ticket sales close on September 17. .
