Stephen Hawking helped us launch this program in 2006; for this year's program see the On the Same Page home page.
Discussion Sessions and Raffle
First-year students who would like to discuss A Briefer History of Time with a professor and a small group of fellow students may sign up for an hour-and-a-half discussion session to take place in the weeks leading up to Hawking's public presentation on March 13, 2007.
If you attend one or more of these discussion sessions you will automatically be entered into a raffle to meet Stephen Hawking at a reception at the Chancellor's house preceding the public event in Zellerbach Hall. You may sign up for more than one discussion session apiece. Raffle entries are limited to one per student.
Choose whichever session best matches your schedule and your interests. You will receive a reminder email the week before your session meets. If you end up enrolling in a class that conflicts with the session you have signed up for, you can re-enter the system and switch to a different discussion session (with seats available) at a later point.
Registration for discussion sessions is closed.
