One more premed announcement! We are restarting our monthly premed dinners this year. These will be informal group dinners in the dining hall, which will give you the chance to get to know the premed advising team, as well as to learn more about careers in medicine and applying to medical school. These dinners will be scheduled on the first Saturday of the month at 6:30pm. The *first premed dinner will be on October 6th in the Pfoho D-hall starting at 6:30pm*. We would love to see you if you can make it! We plan to have roughly monthly dinners, so plenty of opportunities to meet us throughout the year. Simona on behalf of the premed team _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] 한국어/Korean Cultural Immersion

by Perry Choi

안녕하세요 포호 여러분! I'm incredibly excited to share that this idea I've discussed with many of you is finally coming to fruition! (Dream come true :D) A lover of learning languages, I've always appreciated language tables at Harvard, as conversational practice is one of the most important aspects of getting comfortable with the language. However, I also felt that these tables weren't immersive enough. There's so much more to learning a language, such as understanding the cultural nuances behind everyday acts such as sharing a meal and interacting with people of different ages or backgrounds. In an attempt to create a more immersive environment with deeper exposure to Korean language and culture, I will start hosting a Korean Language/Cultural Immersion Event in my room (W201), in which students can 1) enjoy a traditional, home-cooked Korean meal from yours truly, 2) learn about cultural customs surrounding eating and drinking and interacting with elders/peers, 3) practice their Korean in a safe space, 4) listen to/talk about Korean music, and 5) meet other Korean language students. Since there is a limited budget for this, I'm going to ask that you sign up only if you are either currently studying or have previously studied Korean language. This is a new idea, so it is still subject to modifications, but we will likely meet at least three times this semester. Please sign up here if interested: https://goo.gl/forms/P43FrLxNP1XWw5o22 최벼리 드림 _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] [FRIDAY 8PM MOORS TERRACE] Netpflix Nights, Avatar: The Last Airbender

by Pforzheimer House Committee

*Water. Earth. pFire. Air.* *Long ago, the pfour neighborhoods lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the River attacked. Only Matt Young, master of all pfour degrees (MD, JD, AB, HH), could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. * *A hundred years passed and my block mates and I discovered a polar bear, a water bender named Percy, and although his water bending skills are great, he has a lot to learn bepfore he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Percy can save the quad.* [image: image.png] If you haven’t understood the references at this point, you obviously didn’t spend your childhood trying to water bend every time you were in a pool. BUT For those of you who remember painting blue arrows on your forehead - and for those of you who want to pfind out more - boy, do we have a show for you!! Tomorrow night, on a Moors Terrace near you, we’ll be hosting our first Netpflix Night, Friday 8 pm on Moors Terrace [image: image.png] We’ll be watching 3-4 episodes of the only Avatar: The Last Airbender ever made, the animated series. *Yes, that’s the only one that’s ever been made, do not look up some sort of real life kind of movie or anything, nobody would be shortsighted enough to make one of those…* There will be tons of popcorn and drinks, so come out and watch one of the best shows ever made!
