WESeminars
WESeminars offer stimulating intellectual experiences
through educational presentations by Wesleyan faculty members, alumni, parents,
students, and staff. WESeminar participants rekindle connections to Wesleyan and
gain insight into the teaching and scholarship that take place at the University
today. WESeminars typically last one hour to 90 minutes. Registration is not
required. Space is limited, however, and attendance is on a first-come,
first-served basis. Most WESeminars reach capacity seating so it is best to
arrive early.
WESeminars will be
scheduled throughout the weekend, beginning Thursday afternoon and ending late
Saturday afternoon. Below is a preliminary list of WESeminars that may be
offered during Reunion & Commencement Weekend. The final list of WESeminars will
be published in the schedule that will be available at the Reunion &
Commencement Registration site (Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, 330 High
Street).
