  • May 21, 6:00 pm: Learning to Play Dungeons and Dragons

Over the past few years, interest and exposure to sword and sorcery role playing games (and in particular Dungeons and Dragons / D&D) has dramatically increased. From The Big Bang Theory to Stranger Things to Game of Thrones to most recently The Witcher, fantasy role playing games have re-entered the mainstream consciousness. Compounding this trend, many people started seeking out additional forms of entertainment with the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak. But picking up a role playing game can be intimidating for those new and unfamiliar to them. Role Playing games truly are for everyone, and this event will help introduce these marvelous forms of gaming entertainment to the ATU faculty and staff. This event will start by talking briefly about role playing games, how to play them virtually / online (and eventually face-to-face), and what you need to get started playing. At least half the time for this event will be allotted for answering any questions you might have about these games.
By day, Christopher Housenick, is an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the College of Arts and Humanities.  By night, he organizes a biweekly Dungeons and Dragons group that fights orcs, trolls, and giants while saving the world, one die roll at a time.

  • May 30, 7:00 pm: Bartending with Nate Chapman

Join Nate for a virtual bartending course. The course will include a brief history of bartending/mixology, discuss bar basics and how to stock your home bar, mix a classic cocktail, and mix a more modern cocktail using advanced techniques. All you need for the course is vodka and another spirit of your choice, sour mix (see included recipe if you would like to make your own, which is recommended!), a few sprigs of mint and basil, and blueberries and/or raspberries. Dust off your cocktail shaker set, jiggers, muddler, and strainer. If you do not have these items on hand, Nate will show you some alternative ways to mix the cocktails with other items in your kitchen.
Sour Mix Recipe: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup warm water, 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
Tip: If you buy the bulk bag of lemons/limes from the grocery store, juice the entire bag for this recipe. It may be over 1 cup, but you can always add more simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
To make the simple syrup, bring the water to a low boil and add the sugar. Turn off the heat and stir until completely melted. Add the syrup to your pitcher/bottle/pouring vessel, then add the lemon and lime juice. Stir until combined. For best flavor and results, chill for several hours or overnight.
