Personally Speaking

small_PSEntering its third season in 2012-2013, the Personally Speaking (P.S.) lecture series was developed to further connect the community with UNC Charlotte College of Liberal Arts & Sciences faculty and their work. Four events are hosted each year where faculty members speak and answer audience questions on books they have recently written. The setting is casual, with a reception offered after the discussion.

Co-sponsored by UNC Charlotte's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the J. Murrey Atkins Library, the events are  free and open to the public, but space is limited.
