Vanderbilt's Saturday University: Lectures at the Commons

Inquisitive adult learners can rediscover the joy of education for its own sake, without entrance exams, homework assignments, or final papers. All classes will be held at The Commons, Vanderbilt's innovative facility situated on the eastern end of campus, which has been specifically designed to encourage an environment of intellectual curiosity.

The fall series of lectures is presented in collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS).  World renowned faculty will address aspects of their current research.

Nov. 22 - Prof. Helena Simonett (CLAS and Blair) will speak on the music and culture of the Mexican borderlands.

Lectures will be held over five consecutive Saturdays.  Each session will include lecture, plus Q & A, from 9:30 until 11:00 from October 25th until November 22nd. The fee for the five lectures is $99.
Courses will be held at The Commons on the eastern edge of Vanderbilt's campus. Convenient parking available in Lot #77 directly across the street on 18th Ave. S. and Horton Ave.
