Global Conversations

Most Mondays throughout the academic year, the LRWC hosts a lunchtime Global Conversation at 12noon.  These conversations highlight the experiences and studies of international scholars within and visiting the community.  Often, a soup meal accompanies the lunch (for donation only).
