"Hunting Yellow Pigs" is a documentary about the influential Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics (HCSSiM) program, highlighting how curiosity and math passion, fostered by founder David Kelly, shaped generations of mathematicians, showcasing student empowerment and the program's deep impact on American math education.

This event will feature both a screening of the film, as well as an opportunity to hear from alumni of HCSSiM, hopefully inspiring students to become involved with high quality mathematics summer programs across the globe and locally in Chicago.

Arrive as soon as 12:30pm for a "meet and mingle" in the lobby with pizza and drinks before the film!
