The A&S Virtual Speaker Series is kicking off this semester with a four-part series focusing on how the liberal arts, through seemingly disparate fields, addresses major issues of today. In our first event, join A&S biologist Vincent Cassone and political scientist Michael Zilis in conversation with Interim Dean Christian Brady as they discuss the ongoing Covid pandemic and how our society is coping, the physical and economic impacts, how we live long-term with Covid, and how we build a future and move forward.

The A&S Virtual Speaker Series will spend this academic year exploring the importance of a liberal arts education as we dive into topics surrounding the overall theme of  “Building a Better Society.”
