This week philosophers, we regret to inform you that you’ve been bad. Very bad. You are thus charged with the following indictment: being way too based. So you need to be punished! We invite you to serve out your philosophical sentence discussing the Philosophy of Punishment in the UPA Gulag aka CDSB62 on Friday April 11th at 5pm. If you aren’t already tied down, please join us on Desolation Row as we vibe to the Jailhouse Rock and whip up a philosophical frenzy.

A reminder that the statutes of limitations haven’t expired on copping our exclusive, new merch! So if you’re interested in UPA Swag (guaranteed to appreciate in philosophical value) please fill out the form below:

We’d also like to announce that the UPA will be having a trip to Walden Pond on  Saturday 5th April. Think of it as a philosophical frolic with friends within nature’s gardens. We’re planning to meet up at North Station at 9:30am and take the 10:15am train from there. Please sign up with the form below if you’re interested:

This week, however, we’ve got… DRAGOOOOONS Babbbbbyyyyy! Yes, this week we will be saddling a Nigh Fury and taking flight to discuss the 2000 pound hunk of flying, fire breathing, lizardy awesomeness that the T-rex’s girl tells him not to worry about. So find a company of a dozen dwarves (and a hobbit) and follow your local wizard down into the dungeon depths of CDS B62 at 5pm on Friday 28th March for a symposium of philosophical fire on Dragons & Mythical Creatures! That’s right we’re emptying out the entire DnD boxset adventurers so everything from the kraken, unicorns, Medusa (would), the minotaur and el chupacabra are joining the party! 

In honor of the current egg prices, this week, we invite you to join us in straightening your blue collar and getting into the daily grind of punching the good old 9-5 philosophical clock in the hopes of making as much bank as we can! We’re burning the midnight oil till we see dollar signs in our symposium on Hustle Culture (Get that Bag!) on Friday 21st March in CDS B62 at 5pm. Be sure to join us and cash in on voicing all your wonderful thoughts. 

After the meeting we will also be having the first ever UPA Manhunt at Marsh Chapel! This is where we will be hunting the E-board with pitchforks and torches a fancy way of saying we’ll be playing Tag! Just our 2 cents: opportunities to unleash your inner child aren’t exactly a dime a dozen so be sure to join the Hunt!

This week O Philosophers faithful, we beseech thee to join us in a blessed philosophical union of the minds within the UPA Cathedral (CDS B62) for a ceremonious symposium on the Philosophy of Faith, Religion and Religious Education at 5pm on Friday 6th March. High Priestess Josephine warmly invites you with open arms to feel the light of philosophical enlightenment. Come home to the sweet freedom of philosophical thought. Come home to the UPA.

This will be our last symposium until after spring break. For those of you travelling home, have a safe trip and we wish you all a restful break!

The CS Advising Team is hosting an event this week to help you get through midterm season.  Take a study break and de-stress with BU’s Community Resource Dog, Bean! Free Kane's Donuts and Coffee Provided! 

Don't forget to RSVP Here and tell your friends!

Who are you? Yes you philosopher. You reading this very sentence. Who. Are. You?

Have you ever stared so deeply into someone’s eyes that you can make out a galaxy speckled with stars, each a pinprick of light in its own orbit, and wondered who they are?

What prism of possibilities makes up their personality? Are they the same person they were yesterday? Are they the color of their first kiss? Are they their angriest moments? As you linger there, do you ever consider the galaxy in your own eyes? What about the moments, the memories and the people that osmose through your cerebral filter to make you who you are?

Who are you? Yes you philosopher. You reading this very sentence. Who. Are. You?

This week we’re going to shake your core memories to well…the core as we reflect on what makes you you with the Philosophy of Personhood! So join us in CDS B62 at 5pm on Friday 28th February to let us know who you are!

Rock on philosophers, cause we’re about to guitar riff our way up the Stairway to Heaven with this week’s symposium! Oh Mama! This Friday 21st February, Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Blue Sky invite you to burn up the dance floor in the UPA mosh pit in CDS B62 at 5pm. Give It Up for a symposium on [drum roll please]…Music & Harmony! Better get your headphones on for a roller-coaster of reggae and a symphony of Stradivarius with a few dashes of disco! If you play an instrument please feel free to share your tunes at the meeting and join the UPA Garage Band: I Think Therefore I Jam. If your voice is your instrument we’re looking forward to hearing you Sing Sing Sing!  We promise it’ll be Nothin’ But A Good Time! This week Bonus UPA Music Points (worth approx. $0 + bragging rights I guess?) if you dress up like your favorite musical artist!  

See you around, philosophers,
