History Speaks 2024
Our fourth History Speaks series continues to align with our mission to discover, preserve and celebrate UA's history. These events focus on topics of interest specific to our community and beyond, providing historical context for contemporary issues.
We are grateful to our series lead sponsor First Merchants Bank for their generous support to make these events possible.
Society members receive emails in the weeks before an event to reserve seats. We welcome non-members to these free-to-attend events on a first-come, first-serve process for seating. Memberships begin at $25 / calendar year. (Am I a member?)
