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 lecturesare 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. Most series conclude 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, and seatingis almost always available. For more information, call 399-8619.

In the event of inclement weather, consult local media outlets to find out if theday's forum will take place.

Thursday Forum gift certificates are available.
