Events

Museums are the classrooms of our country. They play a crucial role in helping us understand the nation’s complex past. Join us for a dynamic conversation with Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists, as they reflect on the significance of the 250th anniversary of the United States. At a moment in which discussions about our shared past and collective future feel especially urgent, this event offers an opportunity to learn from a leader who has devoted his career to informing and inspiring Americans to strive for the public good. Q & A will follow and copies of Secretary Bunch's book A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama, and Trump will be available for purchase.

LCE is proud to co-sponsor this Rackham symposium celebrating 150 years of doctoral research and exploring how interdisciplinary scholarship and expanded access can shape the next 150 years of discovery and impact.

A timely conversation exploring whether college is still worth it—and for whom—through the lenses of cost, debt, access, opportunity, and higher education’s responsibility to the public.

A thought-provoking conversation about what young people need to thrive—and how families, communities, schools, and institutions can create the conditions for well-being, belonging, opportunity, and lasting success.
