Speakers & Issues Series

    The Speakers and Issues Series seeks to bring engaging speakers to campus to enrich the university community by exploring thought-provoking issues in science, politics, culture and current events of local to international importance.

                                                  

       

History of the Speakers and Issues Series: 

This series started in 2001, thanks to the vision of co-founders Dr. Charles Olson and Mr. John Hirschi, and out of discussions between academicians and members of the community, all centered on the idea of bringing, on a regular basis, informed and creative speakers to the community in a context that would attract an audience from the academic and municipal communities. The range of topics was conceived to encompass a broad spectrum of topics from the creative to the historical, the political, and the scientific spheres. Speakers and Issues Series has brought to campus numerous speakers, coming from all corners of the world of human knowledge...
