About Us

Arts and Lectures seeks to inspire, motivate, and support learning for our students and the community.

Inspire

Arts and Lectures provides a diverse offering of artistic, cultural, and scholarly events all based on input and proposals from students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni, and community members.
