CUA's Office of Campus Activities is presenting its third series of Dialogue on Demand workshops by university faculty on topics tied to events in the news this fall.
Bill Jonas, director of campus activities, said the series is a response to student interest in particular topics that are relevant and timely. Students can then "relate and connect current topics and events to areas of faculty research," Jonas adds.
The series is also meant to "expose students to high-caliber CUA faculty that they may not otherwise be exposed to, in a relaxed and informal setting" and "to provide a forum for faculty to share their expertise with a wider audience," says Jonas.
The workshops will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center, Room 323.
