Designed to encourage community members to participate in academic learning opportunities beyond a single field of study, ATCC established the Senior College lecture series in 2006 in response to community interest in informative and challenging college learning without the pressures of tests, grades or degrees. Open to all ages, the Distinguished Lecture Series brings noted speakers and college faculty from across the state and beyond to share their expertise on a range of topics of thought. Individual sessions delve into Community, International Affairs, History, Humanities & the Arts, Literature, Nature & Ecology, Science, Travel, Personal Interest and context relevant to our world today.
College-level scholars from around Minnesota are preparing lectures on a variety of topics – from history and political science to economics, geography and biology. The Spring 2023 Season begins Tuesday, March 14 and continues Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 20. All lectures will be held live in-person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:15-5:15pm.
Admission for the lecture series is by season membership only. A single registration fee of $125 covers all lectures for the season. Registration is required. For more information or to register, please call 320-762-4510 or 888-234-1313 or register using the link below:
