SUMMARY:DEADLINE: The Point 25 Initiative Spring Series Application
DESCRIPTION:The Point 25 Initiative matches the most promising women-led companies with amazing C-level Advisors for their Advisory Boards. The ‘Point 25’ name refers to the 0.25% equity incentive that an advisor often receives for serving in the role. It’s based on the belief that – while money is a large part of what determines the success of a company – having the right network of helpful and influential advisors can really propel a business forward. This is also an effort to facilitate advisory board roles for prominent leaders who wish to give back to the startup ecosystem. \n\nApplications for the Point 25 Spring Series are now open! \nAPPLY HERE \n\nPlease share with women-led startups you’d recommend and ask them to cite your name on their application.\nHelp spread the word in your network using the links on Twitter and LinkedIn below.\nC-Level professionals interested in being profiled at future events can express interest via the link on the website.\n\nThe deadline for entrepreneurs to apply is February 4. Applications will be reviewed and acceptances extended on a rolling basis.

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 5\, Networks (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA JOURNALISM STUDENTS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \n*** \nIn this installment\, we will consider data that describe networks of people and organizations (often called “graphs”). These are structures that don’t fit easily into a spreadsheet — they encode relationships. Who knows who? Who worked for the same company? Who donated to or lobbied for which campaign? Who retweets who? These kinds of data let us connect the dots between people and organizations. Where are conflicts of interest? Can we track money or influence? On social media\, can we see important “influencers” or visualize groups of people who share specific kinds of content?

SUMMARY:Hod Lipson Fellowship Event
DESCRIPTION:INVITATION ONLY \nWHAT:  We’re hosting Dr. Hod Lipson\, Professor of Engineering and Data Science at SEAS who has graciously agreed to speak to us on the subject: AI: Why Now? \nWhy is AI suddenly taking off?  What are the four exponential trends driving AI? \nFROM OUR GUEST: \nArtificial Intelligence technology has been making grand strides over the past few years\, outperforming humans in tasks once thought to be impossible.  Machines can now recognize images\, interpret audio and understand language with unprecedented reliability.  But where will this technology go next\, and how far can it reach? \nThis talk outlines a brief history of AI\, and its embodied cousin\, Robotics.  We will follow the field from its inception nearly a century ago\, into its accelerating ascent in recent years\, and look into the future. \nAI is a beneficiary of several compounding exponential technologies.  But unlike smooth progress observed in many other areas\, AI progresses in distinct waves.  Each wave leaps forward as a new fundamental capability is mastered\, then lulls us into complacency until a wave washes over. \nHod Lipson is a professor of Engineering and Data Science at Columbia University in New York\, and a co-author of the award winning book “Fabricated: The New World of 3D printing”\, and of “Driverless: Intelligent cars and the road ahead”. \nHis work on self-aware and self-replicating robots challenges conventional views of robotics.  Lipson directs the Creative Machines Lab\, which pioneers new ways to make machines that create\, and machines that are creative. \nFor more information visit http://hodlipson.com \nWe hope you can make it! \nCheers\,\nSociety of Columbia Graduates

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 3\, Virtual Reality (Talk)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIANS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \n*** \nJoin the Brown Institute in welcoming Raney Aronson-Rath\, Executive Producer at FRONTLINE\, PBS to talk about virtual reality\, and its role in how we tell stories. With the recent explosion of VR – specifically 360-degree video– journalistic outlets are hungry for quality documentary content for immersive platforms. While immersive media experiences have become increasingly prevalent in the gaming and entertainment industry\, we are only beginning to explore them within the context of documentary photography and journalism. How can media makers use immersion as a tool to build empathy\, engage communities\, and forward social change? How does immersing your viewer in content change the nature of the story you are telling? And how does this mode of experiencing a story change how journalists approach the planning\, creation\, and distribution of stories?
