Each semester, Oldenborg collaborates with faculty and invites noted scholars, writers, activists, and professionals to speak on topics of cultural and international interest. To suggest a speaker, email Oldenborg co-directors, Carolina De la Rosa Bustamante and Eileen Cheng .

Dining hall access requires a meal purchase; 5C students swipe in and 7C faculty/staff sign in. Community members should purchase their meal tickets in advance at Caf茅 47.
