2022-2023 Laurier Milton Lecture Series

Overview of Lecture Series

Wilfrid Laurier University and the Milton Public Library are pleased to present the 2022-2023 Laurier Milton Lecture Series.

Wilfrid Laurier has long supported the public role of academics to bring their knowledge and thinking outside of the classroom. The Laurier Milton Lecture Series provides a wonderful opportunity to engage in a public dialogue with citizens of Milton on a broad array of important topics. We are pleased that the presentations represent the current research and analysis of members of different faculties, departments and programs. 

The lecture series is a partnership between the Wilfrid Laurier University and the Milton Public Library.

Lectures take place each month starting October 2022. Lectures will take place in-person. Registration required. Registration is free.
