Faculty, staff, and students propose events to be considered for LAC credit. 60 public events result each year: lectures by prominent scholars, performances and presentations by significant artists, talks and panel discussions that address pressing contemporary issues, selected student presentations, and programs connected to a larger campus theme or event. Participation in twenty-five LAC events is
