Six@Six Lecture Series
Six@Six is an annual series of community lectures by NKU’s faculty and students. The series showcases the scholarship and creative work on campus by discussing that work in the community.
Six@Six Lecture Series is a community lecture series sponsored by Northern Kentucky University’s Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement. Think of this as your chance to go to college, minus the tuition, the morning classes and the pressure of grades.
We promise:
- Lots of Interaction: These aren’t sit-on-your-hands lectures. Every talk will include time for questions!
- Exciting, engaging evenings: The faculty, students and graduates who signed up for this year’s Six@Six season are pumped. It’s their chance to showcase their scholarship and expertise.
- Join us on a journey of discovery. For more information, click HERE.
The Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement is a department at NKU that works to connect the campus and community. The center’s programming is designed to encourage NKU students and faculty to get involved in the community. Learn more at http://civicengagement.nku.edu.
