Community Conversations Series Returns for Spring


April 15, 2009

Community Conversations, UO Housing's series of panel discussions, is back during spring term with a fresh crop of topics of interest to community members. The UO Libraries continues to play an important collaborative role in Community Conversations, with several library staff members contributing to the programs. These events are free and open to the public.

This spring Community Conversations will cover topics ranging from the music industry in the digital age, to the green economy, to a look behind the scenes of the Robinson University Theater.

If you are unable to attend any of these events, each panel session airs on Channel 23 on the Wednesday following the event, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Some previous Community Conversations are streamed and can be viewed on demand on the UO Channel.

The remaining lineup for the spring includes the following:

Break a Leg: Behind the Scenes at the Robison University Theater & Dress Rehearsal of Metamorphoses
