757-594-7681(NEWPORT NEWS, VA)— This fall, Christopher Newport University (CNU) will resume the Keith McLoughland Great Books Series, a CNU tradition for more than 20 years. CNU faculty offers this series in memory of their friend and colleague, Keith McLoughland. Longstanding Dean of Admissions, co-founder of the Honors Program, and man of letters, McLoughland founded the Great Books Series in 1977.
The Great Books Series offers a wonderful opportunity for those interested in our cultural legacy to discuss major works of literature, history, philosophy and science. CNU professors will lead the round table discussions as well as share their expertise on the work discussed.
Meetings will take place in the CNU Student Center, Room 214, from 7-9:30 p.m. The program is free of charge. To sign on to the Keith McLoughland Great Books Series mailing list, please visit www.cnu.edu/great_books/.
