Colorado College Alumni and Friends in New York
		Please join us for a special evening with Professor of History and Dean of the College Susan Ashley at The Yale Club of New York City. Professor Ashley will present: “Speaking in Code: The Flight from Meaning" Wednesday, June 20 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. What's behind the mania for abbreviations and invented words? In offices, companies, and--yes--colleges, there's a special shorthand language for people in the know. We use the language to save time, and we expect people to understand the references without translation. Abbreviations in public discourse can play a different role. Because they stand for words we'd rather not hear or say, they disguise harsh realities. Register online
