+      <p>
+         The CSC will have its first talk of the term this Thursday, October
+         6th.  UW alumna and CSC member Elana Hashman will be giving a talk on
+         using functional programming languages (like Racket!) in industry, and
+         how some concepts from the more common object-oriented paradigm are
+         translated to the functional paradigm. The abstract for the talk is below.

+      <p>
+         I transitioned from writing software in imperative, object-oriented
+         (OO) programming languages to doing functional programming (FP)
+         full-time, and you can do it, too! In this talk, I'll make a case for
+         using FP for real-world development, cover some cases where common FP
+         language features substitute for design patterns and OOP structure,
+         and provide some examples of translating traditional OO design
+         patterns into functional code.
