Coming Up
Tues., March 24: Deadline for Shop Survey
The Olin Shop is requesting your participation in a campus-wide survey to better understand how well we are meeting our goals and addressing the needs of the broader community. We are hoping to check our assumptions against the honest feedback of students, faculty, and staff in hopes to better serve you all and discover if there are other ways we can serve the Olin Community. All responses will be anonymous unless you wish to share your name, and raffle entries will be collected in a second survey disconnected from your response at the end of the main survey.
Mon., March 30: Multicultural Fair
6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
The multicultural fair is a day where students, staff and faculty are invited to represent and share their cultures with the Olin community through clothing, cooking and activities. Though the fair is in the evening, we hope you will represent your cultures throughout the day by wearing anything you feel comfortable in, from sports jerseys to traditional clothing. Please reach out to Belén Hutchins ’26 ( bhutchins@olin.edu) with any questions.
Fri., April 3: First Annual Build Challenge
8:45 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. / Great Lawn
Cheer on the MechProto students in Olin's First Annual Build Challenge! To celebrate the prototyping process, MechProto students will demonstrate the cardboard devices they’ve built to help them navigate a multi-stage obstacle course across the Great Lawn. Dress colorfully to support the Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red, and Yellow teams. The rain dates are Tues., April 7 and Fri., April 10.
Fri., April 10 - Sun., April 12: BOW DataFest
Wellesley College
DataFest is a nationally coordinated undergraduate competition in which teams of two to five students work over a weekend to extract insight from a rich and complex data set. Students are encouraged to form teams with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds (e.g., a blend of experiences in data computing, statistics, GIS, visualization and the arts, and business and economics).
Faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Olin are encouraged to volunteer to mentor student teams. Mentors are essentially team members for 10-15 minutes at a time, and often help teams narrow their research questions, advise on modeling and analysis choices or provide feedback on visualizations and storytelling.
