Alumni Seminar Series
Have you ever longed for inspired moments of reflection and insight, in dialogue with gifted professors and peers, but without exams or term papers? If so, you may wish to register for this year's completely new Alumni Seminars Program.
The Alumni Seminars are open to Seattle University alumni and other college graduates in the Seattle area who seek a high-quality learning experience, stimulating discussions of life's deeper questions, and the companionship of other active minds.
Taught by senior members of the Arts and Sciences faculty and special guests, each quarter-long seminar examines a great theme or set of issues in human experience. Discussions center around assigned readings or films that take 2-3 hours per week to complete. Participants are encouraged to make connections between the course materials and real concerns encountered in their daily lives and work.
The seminars fit the schedules of busy professionals as well as those with leisure. Participants meet on six weekday evening per quarter (about twice per month) for 2 1/2 hours in a relaxed environment on campus. Refreshments are served.
