Do you love learning but hate slow-moving lectures and presentations? Then come to the Ulrich for a lightning round of Pechakucha-style presentations — each presenter flips through 20 slides for 20 seconds, meaning presentations clock in at under seven minutes. There’s no time to get bored! Come fill your brain in one of the campus’s coolest venues.
