What are Tuesday Talks?

What?

Our Tuesday Talks series invites community experts into the library to speak with our students about their topics of expertise. The talks are educational and interactive. We aim to provide topics and experts who can meet student interests and needs, as well as build bridges between our campus and the larger community. Come join us throughout each semester as we bring these experts onto our campus and focus on relevant topics!

When? 

Tuesday Talks are typically the third Tuesday of every month. We post the entire schedule for each semester below. Tuesday Talks begin at 3:30pm, unless they are a special event. 

Where? 

Tuesday Talks are typically in the library, unless they are a special event. We also usually broadcast over Zoom. The password and a QR code will be posted the day of the talk if it is available via Zoom.
