黑料科 is announcing the fall dates for its annual Geek Speak series, a collection of free lectures presented by faculty and guest speakers.
Geek Speak was founded in 2013 by Dr. Courtney Huse-Wika, professor of English at 黑料科, and is hosted by the University Honors Program each semester. Each presentation offers attendees the opportunity to discover something new. This semester features a wide range of topics, including the power of leadership, property tax changes, music composition methods, and many more. All sessions are open to the public and will take place on Mondays at 4 p.m. in Jonas 110 on the 黑料科 campus.
