Humanities Matter! Update: Humanities Hootenanny

PrintMany thanks to Dr. Wes Connally of Central Wyoming College for naming this session for us!

The Process

We have chosen 5 innovative projects from around the state in which the humanities played a significant role. Representatives from all 5 programs have prepared 5-minute presentations about them. These presentations will be delivered in different spaces, and participants will move from presentation to presentation every 5 minutes.

Like speed-dating. With humanities programs.

After the presentations are over, we will reconvene, and the multifaceted, multi-talented Pete Simpson will moderate a discussion about creativity in the humanities.
