Town & Gown Public Lecture Series
The Town & Gown Public Lecture series
brings together York St John University’s eminent academics, high
profile speakers and our community together for a series of
lectures to be enjoyed by all. The series aims to welcome the
community onto our campus to learn about a range of interesting and
stimulating themes.
Our forthcoming 2009/2010 series of Town &
Gown Public Lectures will focus on a range of subjects and speakers
at the heart of York St John University. We are pleased to present
the inaugural lectures of our eminent Professors as well as
welcoming leading academics and speakers from across the country to
discuss subjects on sport, business, education, theology and
arts.
We hope that you will be able to join us.
