The Office of the Provost at East Stroudsburg University announces the spring 2017 continuation of its Provost’s Colloquium Series, intended to create an exciting and intellectually rich forum on campus in which students, members of the regional community and faculty can share ideas and engage in inquiry and lively debate on a broad range of current topics.

Most events will occur on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, with some exceptions. “The colloquium is a grassroots endeavor by our faculty to develop an initiative that will enable faculty to share their expertise with students and members of the general public on disciplines and interests they are passionate about,” said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Joanne Z. Bruno, J.D. “Each program is intended to develop rich conversations and dialogue that will benefit everyone. I am extremely proud to support this.”

Upcoming programs through April 2017 are listed below.  Each of them is open to the general public at no charge.
