David Epstein

Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

• Tuesday, November 17, 2020
• 7:00pm – 8:15pm
• Zoom Webinar

New York Times best-selling author and science writer David Epstein has made it his mission to uncover the keys to achieving high performance in any domain, and to debunk popular myths along the way.

Epstein shows that at every stage of life, from the development of children in math, music, and sports, to students fresh out of college trying to find their way, to mid career professionals in need of change, to retirees looking for a new vocation—generalists triumph as the world around them becomes increasingly specialized.

The presentation is free and open to all. Registration is required as each viewer receives a unique link. This event will be recorded and will be available ONLY to those who register for the event.  If you are unable to attend the live-stream, but will want to view the recording, please register.

Announcing a Hinsdale Central HS Sweatshirt design Contest – sponsored by the Hinsdale Central Boosters Club.

HCHS Boosters are organizing a contest where the students create/design a commemorative sweatshirt of the 2020-2021 school year to be sold by the Booster Club.  Then later this fall there will be sale days where sweatshirts will be sold by students and volunteers at the school.

The rules are simple:

Using 4 colors or less, create a design that speaks to the experience of being a HCHS student in the year 2020.  Think Zoom, Covid, sports, learning from home… all your experiences from this year.

The submitted designs will be displayed and voted on by a group of your peers.

The winning designer (s) will get 2 prizes:

1 – a FREE sweatshirt that was created by you – the WINNER/DESIGNER

2 – an amount of the proceeds will go to the HCHS team or club of your choice (your club, team, or your class prom account)
