First Friday Lunch - November 6th, 2015
Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!  Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.

On Friday, November 6th, we will be joined by Chris Brinton, 5thChris Brinton year PhD Candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering.  Chris' PhD research is in developing methods to better understand and to improve the quality of online (human) learning, through an interdisciplinary combination of machine learning, learning technology and behavioral science.   Chris' observations from his teaching experience at Princeton, including his role as  Instructor on Coursera, Lead TA for an undergraduate flipped classroom course, and Co-author of textbook "Networks Illustrated: 8 Principles Without Calculus", have significant impact on his research.  Concurrently, Chris leads research at Zoomi Inc., a learning technology company, where is deploys his research to corporate training, higher education and private tutoring learning scenarios, witnessing the pain points of the industry first-hand. 

As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion!  Please join us.



Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink) and coffee/tea. Pre-registration is preferred.
