(NEWPORT NEWS) — Christopher Newport University is pleased to announce the Keith McLoughland Great Books Series, a CNU tradition for more than 20 years. 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. The series is presented in memory of Keith McLoughland, former dean of admissions, co-founder of the Honors Program, and man of letters. McLoughland founded the Great Books Series in 1977.

All meetings will be held at 5:30 p.m. in Gosnold 111, on the campus of CNU. The program is free and open to the public.
