Humanities Café
Humanities Café is a bi-weekly program which brings together presenters to discuss important issues affecting Americans.
The goal of this program is to be informative and conversational — to discuss issues and bring about a greater understanding of the complexities that lie beneath these issues.
Interested in attending a Café? Join us Thursdays at 12 p.m. over Zoom. A full schedule with dates, times, and descriptions of each event is listed below.
