This course will examine the Eisenhowers Gettysburg connections from World War I forward, including the period when Mamie stayed on at the farm after Ike passed away in We will try to provide a sense of Eisenhower as a personality, his relationship with Mamie, her persona, and the importance of the Gettysburg farm to them. Among other topics we will touch on Eisenhower's recreation and relationships, his family, and Mamie's commitment to being a good citizen of Gettysburg. We will not neglect the Eisenhowers connections to Gettysburg College. Michael Birkner 72, P 10, Professor of History and Benjamin Franklin Professor of Liberal Arts Michael is Professor of History at Gettysburg, where he has taught since Michael has published more than a dozen books on a variety of topics, among them a young adult biography of Dwight Eisenhower.

Carol collaborated with Michael Birkner on their newly published book, Eisenhower s Gettysburg Farm. 1:00 2:30 p.m. AC 102: What to Expect When You re Expecting America to Be Great Again: Macroeconomic Policy in the Trump Administration We will discuss the major macroeconomic policy initiatives of Congress and the Trump Administration and their impact on the economy in the years to come. The Federal Reserve s actions will be of particular interest: in a potentially hostile political environment, how will the Fed balance the Trump Administration s desire for strong growth with its mandate to control inflation? Char Weise, Professor of Economics Char Weise earned his BS in Foreign Service at Georgetown University in 1985 and his PhD in Economics from the University of Wisconsin in He taught at the College of William and Mary before coming to Gettysburg College in His research interests include the effect of new technologies on the business cycle, political influences on monetary policy in the 1970 s and 1980 s, the macroeconomic effects of fiscal and monetary policy, and new ways of teaching macroeconomics to undergraduates.

In 1934, the Dada and Surrealist artist Man Ray visited the Institut Poincaré and found inspiration in three-dimensional plaster models of complicated mathematical formulas. Although he claimed that the formulas meant nothing to him, his work and notes suggest a keen interest in mathematical reasoning. We will consider how Man Ray intentionally used mathematical forms and logic to contrast emotional elements in his art and heighten the irrational effect. Kimberly Spayd, Assistant Professor, Mathematics - Sciences Kim has been teaching at Gettysburg College since the fall of She has a BS from Notre Dame, a Masters in Statistics from the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and a PhD in Math from North Carolina State University. Her primary research area is partial differential equation models of fluid flow.

How We Know What We Know We all know that the Earth goes around the Sun and that the Loch Ness monster doesn t exist. But we constantly hear about many other less obvious ideas in the news: Do vaccines cause autism? Are human actions causing the earth to warm? Does taking Prozac increase the risk of suicide? How do we know the answers to these questions, and just how sure are we of the answers? Eric Remy, Director for Educational Technology Eric Remy is the Director for Educational Technology at Gettysburg College.

A look at Manatawny Still Works, a state-of-the-art distillery embracing tradition and innovation, will help us on this journey. Together we ll explore the 4 steps of production: Fermenting, Distilling, Aging, and, of course, Tasting! Enjoy each of our hand-crafted grain to bottle spirits. You ll leave with a greater appreciation for how spirits are produced and how many factors impact their taste. And, hopefully, you ll appreciate how exciting these times are for those who enjoy distilled spirits. Brett Goodrich '82, Partner, Manatawny Stillworks Brett has a successful Financial Advisory practice in Towson, MD. His journey in whiskey production began with a glass of whiskey and a simple wouldn t it be fun!

We ll start with a look at the array of equipment used in our astronomy survey courses, upper-level lab courses, and student-faculty research. Weather permitting, you ll see how we use our larger optical and radio telescopes to acquire the data that informs our labs and research projects. We will also have smaller telescopes and binoculars set up to observe a few seasonal favorites and give you some pointers to guide yourself around the night sky. This promises to be an exciting and unique Gettysburg alumni experience, so come out and interact with the astronomy faculty. Please note astronomical observatories are purposefully remote; as part of the course takes place outdoors please plan your attire accordingly. Ian Clarke, Hatter Planetarium Program Director and Adjunct Assistant Professor of English Ian earned a BA from the University of Virginia and an MFA from the University of Iowa Writers Workshop.

FRIDAY JUNE 2 9:00 10:30 a.m. AC 208: A Simple Game with Complex Play: Perspectives on Perfect and Practical Play of Pig The rules of the jeopardy dice game "Pig" can be described in two sentences, yet optimal play of 2-player Pig is surprisingly complex. After introducing Pig, we will see how playing to maximize points per turn differs from optimal play, we will present equations that describe perfect play, and show how they can be solved with a fairly simple algorithm. Finally, we will learn how to evaluate simpler, human-playable strategies, highlighting one that closely approximates optimal play while requiring nothing more than elementary mental arithmetic. Todd Neller, Professor of Computer Science Todd is a Professor of Computer Science at Gettysburg College. A Cornell University Merrill Presidential Scholar, he received a BS in Computer Science with distinction in 1993, and in 2000, he received his PhD with distinction in teaching at Stanford University, where he was awarded a Stanford University Lieberman Fellowship, and the George E. Forsythe Memorial Award for excellence in teaching. A game enthusiast, Neller has in recent years enjoyed pursuing game artificial intelligence challenges, computing optimal play for jeopardy dice games such as Pass the Pigs and bluffing dice games such as Dudo, creating new reasoning algorithms for Clue/Cluedo, analyzing optimal Risk attack and defense policies, and designing logic mazes. 9:00 10:30 a.m. AC 209: The U.S. Congress in the Age of Trump This course will explore how the U.S. Congress has responded to and operated during the Trump presidency. Topics we will cover include congressional policymaking, oversight over the executive branch, and the continuing polarization of the two parties in Congress.
