**Event Host**
For the past 25 years, I have taught mathematical art and other interdisciplinary courses in the Math Department. My colleague David Rosenthal and I co-designed a computer language called SeeLogo, which is used in many applications, from designing scientific graphics to teaching geometry, statistics, and calculus. But as a committed humanist, I most enjoy soul-to-soul communication with students. SeeLogo can be downloaded from [] It is an amazing language with little publicity.
