According 
to 
Turpin, 
some of these projects are 
in coordination with NASA, 
adding the two organizations 
hope to have astronauts on the 
moon by 2024. 
“Now Boeing is taking a 
unique approach,” Turpin said. 
“Because we build the Space 
Launch System, we’re building 
so much capability into our 
rockets, and we’re taking five 
steps to learn (from our past 
flights) so we can shorten our 
path … We want to be (on the 
moon in) about 2024.” 
Turpin also discussed the 
company’s mission of closing 
the 
global 
digital 
divide, 
noting the disparities between 
developed 
and 
developing 

countries 
regarding 
their 
access 
to 
computing 
and 
information resources such as 
the internet.
Turpin 
noted 
Boeing 
is 
making efforts to bring this 
kind of technology and other 
digital 
opportunities 
to 
countries that may need them.
“It’s 
not 
just 
about 
communicating 
across 
transoceanic 
distances, 
but 
it’s about bringing the world 
together 
and 
closing 
the 
digital divide,” Turpin shared. 
Turpin 
said 
he 
feels 
passionate 
about 
Boeing’s 
humanitarian work because 
it helps people find water 
supplies and other life-saving 
resources.
“Having a solar-powered 
terminal in regions where 
the internet has never existed 
has completely changed the 

dynamic of the region,” Turpin 
said. “Things like where to find 
water, and other humanitarian 
needs, 
situations 
where 
you 
lost 
communication 
or 
infrastructure, 
natural 
disasters like in Puerto Rico. 
Whenever 
this 
happens 
around 
the 
world, 
this 
class of satellites is able to 
be repositioned to support 
services for those who need 
them.” 
Layla Allen, a student at 
Davis 
Aerospace 
Technical 
High School, said she enjoyed 
learning about the company 
from an actual employee who 
works there. 
“It was very informational,” 
Allen said. “I liked having 
someone 
from 
the 
actual 
company come and give us 
information because it made it 
seem more factual rather than 

somebody 
just 
interpreting 
something straight from the 
internet.”
Similarly, 
Engineering 
sophomore 
Edward 
Tang 
said he felt the lecture was 
insightful 
and 
gave 
him 
information about the future 
of a field he would like to 
pursue. 
“He 
definitely 
offered 
insight on the industry as an 
industry expert that’s been 
there for 20 years, challenges 
that you might face in a pretty 
homogenized 
engineering 
field such as aerospace and 
also pretty good insight on 
where the future of aerospace 
engineering, as a whole, is 
heading towards, which is the 
industry that I will be working 
in, in the next 20 years,” Tang 
said. 

Mihalcea 
asked 
Wellman 
how the trading systems will be 
regulated and if they have any 
human involvement to make sure 
they adhere to the law. Wellman 
said though there are laws in 
place, there are no audit systems 
to make sure these systems are 
behaving in a legal manner. 
Therefore, he said algorithms 
may still be able to find loopholes.
“Certainly in regulated areas, 
including 
markets 
or 
credit 
and 
lending, 
decisions 
made 
by algorithms are still subject 

under the law,” Wellman said. 
“The laws are written under 
the presumption that people 
are 
making 
decisions. 
We 
lack, I’m afraid, thoughtfully 
designed audit systems and other 
regulatory ways ensuring that 
we really do understand how 
decisions are made.” 
For 
the 
remaining 
time, 
the audience asked Wellman 
questions. One individual asked 
what the future of AI will look 
like when it comes to people 
searching for jobs. Wellman said 
he believes people will still be 
able to find jobs in the market, 
though AI will play a larger part 
in trading in the future. 

“The 
substrate 
of 
trading 
will be algorithmic and people 
will be involved in tweaking the 
strategies and coming up with 
new ideas and putting them in 
there,” Wellman said. “But it’s 
not going to ever revert back to 
mainly manual trading.”
LSA 
sophomores 
Madison 
Caldwell and Reagan Miller are 
computer science majors with 
an interest in AI. Miller said he 
thought this event would help 
further his knowledge as he 
progresses in his academic career. 
“I haven’t been to one of these 
before, it’s definitely a first time,” 
he said. “We’re both sophomores 
so we’re kind of getting out there 

right about now, especially since 
we are getting more into the 
upper-level classes. It’s cool to see 
some of the things that are going 
to be happening and impacting us 
in general.”
Caldwell said she thought the 
event was especially interesting 
because it offered a real-world 
perspective on AI.
“It was interesting to see it from 
a community perspective instead 
of just a classroom setting,” she 
said. “I feel like people bring 
different perspectives and some 
of the questions that people asked 
I would never have thought of.”

DESIGN BY HIBAH MIRZA

One of these resources is 
the Opportunity Hub, which 
returned back to its original 
location on the first floor from 
the 
second 
floor 
following 
renovations. 
Jessica 
St. 
George, 
information 
services 
coordinator at the Opportunity 
Hub, 
helped 
with 
the 
tabling and trivia game the 
Hub 
provided 
during 
the 
Homewarming Party.
“I think it’s going to make a 
huge impact on how we serve 

the community because we’re 
the central point in a public 
space now,” St. George said. 
“It’s going to be important for 
us to be very visible to students 
and also to learn more about 
what the students want and 
what they need as they come 
through and experience the 
new space.”
According 
to 
Curzan, 
the 
theme 
of 
the 
event 
“Homewarming” came from 
this idea that the LSA building 
would serve as a home for the 
college moving forward.
“We knew that we wanted 
the event to be fun and to 
feel really welcoming for all 
LSA students because we see 

this as the new home for LSA 
students,” Curzan said. “We 
want students to feel like this 
is a home base for them, so we 
designed this to have games 
and comfort food and to make 
this feel like a homewarming 
party.”
LSA 
freshman 
Regan 
Monnett attended the event to 
take advantage of some of these 
free giveaways. Monnett said 
she usually goes to the Shapiro 
Undergraduate 
Library 
to 
study, but after visiting the LSA 
building, that could change. 
“I definitely want to come 
back here when I have stuff to 
do, as a study space,” Monnett 
said. “I like the modern feel of 

it.”
In addition to going there to 
study, Curzan said she hoped 
students would also utilize the 
LSA building for collaboration, 
meeting friends and hanging 
out.
“One of the messages that 
we want to send is that this is 
a college where we talk about 
really important issues and we 
challenge ourselves and we ask 
hard questions,” Curzan said. 
“We also celebrate the joy of 
doing this kind of work and 
the fact that we also play with 
ideas, so these themes of joy 
and play alongside rigor and 
challenge really matter to us.”
