Welcome to the registration page for the spring 2019 season of the Athenaeum.

​Please note that this registration page is the only recognized mechanism for signing up for meals associated with Athenaeum events. Alternative registrations provided by third parties (such as Eventbrite) are not managed or controlled by the College, and unfortunately such registrations cannot be honored to allow dining with us in advance of the talk.

Events generally open for registration on a rolling basis every two weeks over the course of the semester. The CMC community has priority for dinner reservations. Space permitting, when meal spots are available for members of the other Claremont Colleges, a note is added to the event listing and registration is open for all others.

Unless otherwise noted, the talk itself is free and open to all, and no reservations are required to attend the talk only. Seating for only the talk itself is on a first-come basis.

Please click "Sign Up" under individual events to sign up for open events. If there is no button showing, the registration is currently closed either because the event is full or the reservation window has passed. Please check back later or contact the Ath at athenaeum@cmc.edu.

Unless otherwise noted, lunch begins at 11:45 a.m; speaker presentations begin at 12:15 p.m. Evening programs typically begin with a reception at 5:30 p.m.; dinner is served at 6 p.m; and the talk begins at 6:45 p.m. Reservations are required for all meals.

Note to students: Head table sign-ups are now electronic.

To sign up for the head table, please follow these steps:

1. Register for the speaker event you wish to attend;
2. Look for the event registration confirmation email in your inbox;
3. Click on the head table sign-up link embedded in the confirmation email; if the head table is already full, you will automatically be directed to the waitlist.

Please note that lunch and events in the smaller dining rooms do not require head table sign-ups. Seating with the speaker at such events is on a first-come, first-served basis, or at the discretion of the Athenaeum.

An explanation of the reservation process and a list of frequently asked questions is available. Additional questions may also be directed to the Ath at athenaeum@cmc.edu.
