The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CMRS) 50th Anniversary Celebration offers a key opportunity to recognize the profound and wide-ranging impact the CMRS has had on university life across the past half century, to assess its current position in Ohio State's academic world and to consider the roles it can play in the future of The Ohio State University. With 20 affiliated departments and 150 affiliated faculty, as well as an associated graduate student organization (MRGSA) and undergraduate club (Mappa Mundi), the reach of CMRS across departments and populations is broad. With its own curriculum and program objectives (undergraduate major and minor, graduate certificate and specialization), its connection to faculty and students across many disciplines is made concrete on a daily basis. And with its many sponsored activities, each year including a lecture series of distinguished visiting faculty from universities around the world, together with conferences, symposia, film series and popular-culture events on topics of current interest, its engagement with the public, both on campus and beyond, is intensive and ongoing. This celebration provides the perfect opportunity to take stock of a great campus organization and to think about what it can and should achieve in the next 50 years on behalf of our students, faculty, alumni and public.Schedule: 1-7 p.m. — Exhibit of rare books, manuscripts, and facsimiles in the Rare Books Reading Room2 p.m. — Introductory comments by Peter Hahn, Dean, Division of Arts and Humanities2:10 p.m. — Symposium of three round tables, featuring Ohio State faculty: CMRS past (2:10–3 p.m.) CMRS present (3:10–4 p.m.) CMRS future (4:10–5 p.m.)5 p.m. — Reception, acknowledgment of Barbara Hanawalt (endowment of the CMRS Public Lecture Fund) and launching of the Friends of CMRSFor more information visit CMRS. 202/204 Thompson Library (Mortar Board and Conference Room), 105 Thompson Library (The Jack and Jan Creighton Special Collection Reading Room) OSU ASC Drupal 8 ascwebservices@osu.edu America/New_York public
