TOMORROW: Redoubtable Dons Presentation by Dean Terry Cooney: October 24
Celebrating their thirtieth anniversary, the Redoubtable Dons are a gathering of faculty, administrators, retirees, and staff who share scholarly, creative, and cultural interests in a non-specialized way with colleagues from across the university. From accounting to zoology, everyone is welcome, for the Dons strive to make our large campus smaller and its collegiality stronger.
Aimed at members of the university community whose curiosity carries them beyond the perimeters of their specializations, talks to the Dons are learned but not arcane, brisk but not rushed, challenging but clear.
New this year is the old “clubhouse.” The Dons will now return to the historic Auburn House (1790), their haunt back in the last century. Speakers need no longer compete with canned music, and—hooray, hooray!—complimentary spirits and snacks will be provided.
Fall 2019 presentations will take place on the following Thursdays from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
