Fairhaven Lecture Series
Since 1983, UW-Whitewater faculty and staff from the Whitewater and Janesville campuses, along with area business and community leaders, have been presenting multi-disciplinary lectures to thousands of lifelong learners. Continuing Education partners with Fairhaven Senior Services to host the lectures during the academic year.
Spring 2024
The World of the Arts
From music to literature, film to poetry, people have been creating and enjoying various forms of art since prehistoric times. The arts bring communities together through entertainment and help to navigate challenging times. The arts help us celebrate achievements, disparage injustices, and educate generations. Join us this spring as we explore the world of the arts throughout history and across the globe.
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.
Unable to attend? Links to videos of lectures, including those from prior series, can be found at http://www.uww.edu/ce/fairhaven.
