The Korean Major and Minor meeting took place on Wednesday, Nov. 20 in the EALC House. Korean majors/minors as well as students considering a major/minor in Korean attended the meeting and learned about summer/winter programs, internships, and study abroad opportunities. Professors and students cooked some delicious Korean food, including Kimbap, Ddeokbokki, and Kimchi Buchimgae. What a great time we had! You can get a sense of how homey the setting was by looking at these photos.

Millennium Actress (千年女優 Sennen Joyū) is a 2002 Japanese animated drama film co-written and directed by Satoshi Kon and produced by Madhouse. Loosely based on the lives of actresses Setsuko Hara and Hideko Takamine,[3] it tells the story of two documentary filmmakers investigating the life of a retired acting legend. As she tells them the story of her life, the difference between reality and cinema becomes blurred.[4]
