Fall 2023 Lecture Series
A Legacy of Lifelong Learning: Celebrating 40 Years of Community Conversations
Since 1983, faculty, staff and community leaders have presented public lectures as part of the Fairhaven Lecture Series. This fall, we celebrate four decades of timely and relevant presentations by showcasing the University’s award-winning faculty and staff who are committed to providing exceptional educational experiences for all. Once dubbed “one of Whitewater’s best kept secrets,” the Series has become a well-known tradition, engaging our community and transforming lives. Join us in celebrating 40 years of conversations, won’t you?
Lectures are held on Mondays at 3 p.m. in Olm Fellowship Hall of Fairhaven Senior Services, 435 West Starin Road, Whitewater and are open to the public.
