For the Public

Each year, Primary Source offers a series of programs open to the public. We welcome you to join us for one or more of these exciting, internationally minded lectures and performances throughout the season. Past programs have included discussions with authors Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea) and John Stauffer (Giants: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln); an Indian dance performance; and film screenings with directors Socheata Poeuv and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.
