• NEWMAN CONVERSATIONS

Newman Conversations occur during the lunch time throughout the academic terms on Tuesdays either in the Cage or an assigned room. The speakers in the past have been administrators and professors who spoke on topics that were current for students and society in general. Those who come bring their lunch and eat during the 15 or 20 minute presentation. A discussion follows with time to answer questions. The speakers, topics, dates and places for Fall 1999 are TBA in September.

• NEWMAN VIDEO/DISCUSSION SERIES

  Newman Video discussions consist of short videos on any topic of faith that you may be interested in viewing. The videos are seen on Tuesdays with lunch. A discussion follows.

After a video has been selected the date, time and place will be announced.
