Young Academic Alumni Lecture Series
The Young Academic Alumni Lecture Series (YAALS) is sponsored by the Library, the John B. Hurford '60 Humanities Center, and the Office of Alumni Relations. Each year the series presents lectures by alums who have chosen careers in academia and are in the final stages of writing their dissertation, are doing post-doctoral work, or are in their first few years of academic employment.
For more information on the series, please contact John Anderies (janderie, 610-896-2948).
