You're invited to the first Movie Night in the Library of the spring semester! Join us for a screening of "Hidden Figures" on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 7pm in the Mac Lab.

Hidden Figures is a true story based on the lives of real NASA mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, who were essential to the U.S. space program but faced significant racism and sexism; the film dramatizes their true experiences at the Langley Research Center during the Space Race. While the core events and people are real, some timelines and characters were altered for dramatic effect in the movie.
