A central goal of the Humanities Center is to strengthen the humanities and fine arts by bringing colleagues from across campus together for discussion and critical reflection on important issues in public and intellectual life. These things can happen through formal means, such as through conferences, performances, shows, and talks, but also through less formal means, such as collegial gatherings, meals, and other informal activities. Recognizing the importance of these informal collegial relationships and gatherings in nurturing and inspiring our scholarly and creative activities, the Humanities Center is pleased to announce a new program aimed to support the creation of multi-disciplinary collegial networks and interest groups.
