Yeshiva University Event Coverage

It occurred to me that it would be much easier for everyone to read my (usually unofficial) notes from events and lectures at Yeshiva University if everything were organized under one post. I could then update this post whenever I posted new material. I'll also place it in my sidebar for easy access.

So here you go.
