Academics / Departments & Programs / History / Events
Join us on Wednesdays! History lectures are usually on third Wednesday of the month at 3:30 p.m. in the Meeter Center lecture hall. The final colloquium of the year is a special presentation by our graduating Honors students, who present the results of their year-long thesis research.
History colloquia are open to the Calvin community—students, alumni, faculty, and friends—and all are encouraged to attend. The Meeter Center lecture hall is on the third floor of Hekman Library, off the library lobby. Come early to enjoy refreshments and conversation and to get a good seat.
While we don't have any upcoming events to show at this time, we welcome you to take a look at some of our recently passed events. And remember to check this space in the future for coming events.
