The Winter Formal this year was held at the nearby Michigan Shores Country Club in Wilmette. Slivka partnered with Ayers/CCI to host the formal, and it went off without a hitch. Residents arrived by bus from NU at 7:00, spent about half an hour talking and munching on hors d'oeuvres, then moved into the Club's Michigan Room to enjoy a very delicious meal with a very large helping of ice cream for dessert. We then spent the rest of the night partying to the fantastic DJ abilities of NU senior Andrew Kang, and finally returned to Slivka just before midnight.

On Wed October 19th, Slivka's Assistant Master, Erin Hays gave a fireside discussing how she went from doing primate research as an undergrad to studying for her masters in writing for the screen and stage. She discussed how she has developed the belief that theatre and psychology are two sides of the same coin. Theatre is presenting a story and a point of view to the audience and then having them internalize it whereas psychology is taking the internal workings of the mind and bringing them out. She also discussed how this lead to her choice to pursue theatre in grad school instead of psychology. |

On Tuesday October 18th three members of the NU American Sign Language Club Exec Board came in and taught a large group of Slivkans some sign language. Everyone first learned the alphabet in sign language and introduced themselves to the room with sign language. Then we learned some halloween themed signs and wrapped up with a sign language halloween video |
