The lecture series will have one more installment this spring, and each lecture lasts an hour or less. The sessions are open to all and everyone is encouraged to attend and participate. Topics will range from local to global matters focusing on everything from nutrition to exotic forms of music to the impact that pesticides have on our region’s ground water. 

This lecture series is sponsored by The Arts & Sciences Division of Edison Community College.
