Welcome to the 2024-2025 "Beyond the Headlines" series, where we dive deep into the stories shaping our world, uncovering the insights and perspectives that often lie beneath the surface.

Beyond the Headlines is a Lunch and Learn speaker series designed to present fact-based information on today’s most pressing global issues. Events will have academic or research institution thought leaders as speakers, giving background and remarks on the topic before allowing audience members to ask questions and engage in discussion. Providing a non-political based platform for sensitive topics allows people to broaden their horizons and ask questions that facilitate growth on the subject matter. The cost of Lunch is included in the ticket price.

Find your way to explore our local global cultures.
