Dr. Temple Grandin, “The World Needs All Kinds of Minds”
<p>Dr. Temple Grandin is a prominent animal behavior scientist and autism advocate. Well-known as a professor and scholar of animal behavior who made important contributions to the livestock industry, Grandin has also spoken widely about her experiences with autism and her ability to “think in pictures.” She notes that while some people are good at art, others at math, and still others at writing, she is an extreme visual thinker for whom words narrate the pictures in her imagination. In this presentation, Grandin will discuss varied types of thinking and why the world needs diverse thinkers. She makes the case that the world needs the thinking of those on the autism spectrum, including visual, pattern, and verbal thinkers. Different kinds of minds have skills that complement each other and the world needs all kinds of minds engaged in solving its complex problems.</p><p>Individual tickets to each Marquis Series event are available at no charge to Coe students, faculty and staff. Tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for senior citizens (55 and older) and non-Coe students (18 and under).

Tickets are also available at the door in Sinclair Auditorium on the night of each event.</p><p>Inquiries about the series may be directed to marquisseries@coe.edu</p><p>The Marquis Series is funded by a gift from the estate of Sarah Marquis in honor of her father, Dr. John A. Marquis, who was president of Coe College from 1909-1920. The purpose of the series is to bring entertainment and educational presentations to the Coe campus for the benefit of the entire community.</p>

Let's Knit a Hat Using Short Rows
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="64"><tbody><tr height="20"><td height="20" width="64">Knitty.com, an online knitting magazine, tells us “short rows make curves or soft angles on the mostly straight-edged, flat-paneled knitting landscape.” Currently, there are several ways to knit them and short rows make pretty, colorful projects that are truly unique. To best participate in this beginning-intermediate level class, you will need to have mastered knit and purl stitches, be able to count stitches and read charts, fix mistakes, and understand a provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch. You will also need to make time for knitting at home. Our main project is a hat designed by Wooly Wormhead. She has unbelievable cool hat designs that are super fun to knit. We will discuss yarn, gauge and needle sizes in class first. <ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date.
