COMMUNITY SEMINAR
Join members of our community in asking the Great Questions of humankind through discussions of transformative texts. Participants complete a reading assignment and consider how it helps them ask the Great Questions before attending the event and participating in a conversation with others who have done the same. Students, Faculty and Staff are all welcome to attend. Food and refreshments provided. Many thanks to The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Humanities Center and The Great Questions Foundation for their support of this series.
