“Diversity in the Winter Sky”
Heitkamp Planetarium
Throughout history, ancient people envisioned cultural
and religious significance to the stars and constellations.
Mythological stories tell us much about their lives and their
early beliefs about the structure of the cosmos. The Heitkamp
Planetarium will connect the different constellations in our
winter night sky with the cultures whose mythologies have
been passed down for thousands of years. Admission is free;
no ticket or reservation required. (Presenters: Tony Gates and
Dolina Maharjan)

Peter Boie
Marie Graber Ballroom, Alumni Campus Center
We are proud to present Peter Boie, Magician for Non-Believers,
a magic show that will make you gasp in awe, laugh ’til it hurts
and inspire your imagination. Boie was nominated by Campus
Activities Magazine in 2012 for being one of the countries ‘Best
Live Novelty’ acts and ‘Fastest Rising Stars’ in the country. Boie
tours the country with his show and this is his second
appearance on campus. We had to bring him back, come out and
see why! Admission is free; no ticket or reservation required.
