Reception to follow.

The Humanities Institute will host our annual “Celebrate the Humanities” Lecture and Outstanding Alumni Award event on March 31 at 4:00 in the Hintz Family Alumni Center on the University Park campus.

Our invited lecturer, Dr. Sara Guyer, Irving and Jean Stone Dean of the Division of Arts & Humanities and Professor in the Department of English at UC Berkeley, is well-known for her initiatives in furthering positive narratives regarding the value of the work of the humanities. 

We will also present our Outstanding Alumni Award to Dr. Rónké Òké, 2015 PhD Philosophy.

In this current moment, it is especially important to demonstrate our support of the humanities at Penn State and to be a part of a crucial conversation regarding how to respond to the ongoing challenges we face in the humanities and in higher education more generally. 

We hope to see you there!
