2018 - 2019 Laurier Milton Lecture Series
Overview of Lecture Series
Wilfrid Laurier University, the Town of Milton and the Milton Public Library are pleased to present the 2018-19 Laurier Milton Lecture Series.
Wilfrid Laurier has long supported the public role of academics to bring their knowledge and thinking outside of the classroom. The Laurier Milton Lecture Series provides a wonderful opportunity to engage in a public dialogue with citizens of Milton on a broad array of important topics. We are pleased that the presentations represent the current research and analysis of members of different Faculties and University Departments/Programs.
The lecture series is a partnership between the Town of Milton, Wilfrid Laurier University, and the Milton Public Library.
Admission is free. No registration is required.
All lectures take place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the dates noted below at the First Ontario Arts Centre Milton.
