The Shimer College Lecture & Performing Arts Series is organized annually to bring the great conversation to the community. Shimer hosts scholars, educators, and performers to engage in conversation about a variety of topics. Shimer believes that education that begins in the classroom is enhanced by what occurs outside of the classroom. Shimer is proud to help build community through conversation.
