BROWN BAG SERIES

On a regular basis the Dresher Center will sponsor opportunities for faculty members to present their humanities research in progress to their peers in an informal setting over lunch. Thanks to the generous support of the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences refreshments will be provided.
