One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education–right in NYC, no less–is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter Bucket List, a weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you realize, like Bwog has, just how special our campus is. Our recommendations for this week are below; the full list is after the jump. Take a gander, who knows what you’ll find!
