Hi! It’s me again, your sleeper buddy who has been hung up on the Getting Better Sleep Workshop by SWS ever since it happened.

I am now invested in getting better sleep, and hopefully you are along for the ride.

At the beginning of the fall term, the Caltech Pond Bridge was transformed by artist Lita Albuquerque into a gold foil installation — the largest she has made to date — dubbed This Moment in Time. It’s part of a larger art exhibit at Caltech called Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech. Apparently, some people couldn’t wait until December 15th to walk over the bridge, which has been gradually sullied with footprints over the course of the term. This came as somewhat of a disappointment to Albuquerque.

The Committee on House Assessment, Support, and Experience (CHASE) was formed in Spring 2023 and “charged by the Vice President for Student Affairs Kevin Gilmartin to develop strategic recommendations to ensure that the undergraduate houses remain supportive living and learning environments, where current and future Caltech students can thrive and succeed,” according to an email sent to undergraduates last spring.

The search for life beyond Earth is a key priority for both the public and NASA. The observation of billions of galaxies in our universe has led us to ask: “Are we alone?” “Is there life out there?”

Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020 (PST ART), an expansive public exhibition, unfolds across Caltech’s campus, offering visitors a unique exploration of the intersection between art and science.

Since before the Institute bore its present name, athletics has played a vital role in the Caltech experience as a means of supporting students’ overall health and wellbeing.

“e-plegona is designed for both musicians and non-musicians to experience the joy of group play without needing musical skill. It’s about intuitive, collaborative play that even children can enjoy.”

For the astute eyes on campus, you may have noticed something different about Caltech Hall, specifically the bridge across the pond. But for those who may not know, the bridge going across Caltech Hall Pond has been completely covered in gold leaf. To put it simply, the bridge across Caltech Hall Pond will be closed essentially until the end of Fall term (December 13th), and many of us will have to wait until after the holidays until we can use it again.

In the heart of Pasadena, nestled between the evergreen dotted hills and the sprawling cityscape, stands a campus symbolizing human ingenuity and environmental harmony: Caltech. Remarkably, what was once a patchwork of open chaparral and agricultural land has transformed into a living laboratory where science meets sustainability.

The email stated the air conditioning system in the South Houses was down due to a broken chilled waterline. This by nature was already grim.

Many who paid for these courses were extremely dissatisfied with both their poor quality and lack of transparency about Caltech’s involvement.
