The Center for the Humanities would like to invite you to participate in its new faculty-student discussion series, a program designed to give undergraduate students an opportunity to talk about topics and issues in the humanities with a university faculty member or independent scholar.
Since the program is geared toward undergraduates, the emphasis will be on informal conversation on a particular topic led by the featured speaker. The discussions will be conducted during the early evening hours in your residential hall to encourage a welcoming, informal interaction between the guest speaker and the students. Refreshments will be served!
