Every year, the College of Liberal Arts’ (CLA) endowed professors sponsor a series of events that enhance and expand the College’s educational mission. This year, there are four different sessions: the Gannett Series, Hale Ethics series, Gosnell series, and Kern events.
GANNETT SERIES
Dr. Mary-Lynn Broe is in charge of the Gannett lectures that explore new intersections of science, technology, social sciences, and technology by presenting nationally and internationally known speakers. The most recent event was a seminar featuring Ze Frank on October 3rd, and upcoming speakers include an award-winning artistic director, an American Sign Language poet, and a syndicated comic strip creator.
