Thursday Forum
Coe College invites you to participate in Thursday Forum, a program for adults who want to extend their knowledge in an academic setting.
Thursday Forum lectures are held in Kesler Lecture Hall in Hickok Hall on the Coe campus. Each session begins with coffee and pastries from 8:45-9:15a.m., followed by the class until 11:30 a.m. The class meetings blend lecture, use of media such as film and music, and discussion. Every series concludes with a luncheon on the final Thursday.
The courses are open to all adults. The cost is $10 per week or $30 for a four-week course. The closing luncheons cost an additional $8. There is no pre-registration, but seating is almost always available. For more information,call 399-8561.
Thursday Forum gift certificates are available.

"My favorite Coe tradition is the ringing of the bell at opening convocation and commencement. It is rewarding to think about the growth our students make during their four years at the college."
