The Humanities and the Arts Discovery Theme will host an ongoing Mobile Coffee series to foster dialogues on national topics in higher education and the liberal arts. At the Coffees, students will become more aware of curricular and extracurricular opportunities in the humanities and arts; faculty will learn about resources that can assist them with their projects and research; and, faculty members' recognized strengths will advance the university's academic reputation.
Typically meeting monthly on and around the university's campuses, the Mobile Coffee Series is free and open to all. Several Coffees are already scheduled and further details will be announced closer to the dates.
