Athenæum Series
|
Kent Library's Athenæum Series, initiated in fall 2007, derives its
name from a long history of open forums and lectures based on
associations of persons interested in scientific and literary
pursuits. The name is derived from the classical Greek goddess
Athena, goddess of wisdom. These open forums of public lectures and
discussions developed in Greece, later spreading to Rome, and
eventually to Western Europe.
Athenæum events are hosted by Kent Library's staff
and faculty and showcase the expertise of campus faculty as well as student
performers from the Holland School of Visual and Performing Arts
located at the River Campus.
All events are free and everyone is welcome. Snacks are usually available.
Please join us as we carry forward an ancient but still vibrant
tradition. |
