Scholars for Life!
Speaker Series  

& Virtual Movie Club!

Overview

CCSU faculty and guest speakers bring their passions and knowledge to our Scholars For Life! Speaker series!  We are offering our talks on campus again, and if you are not ready to visit us in person we are also streaming the talks!  We are offering a hot buffet lunch or dinner before the talk too.  It’s a great way to visit with old friends and make new friends.   Everyone is welcoming!  Just let us know if it’s your first time here and we’ll take care of you!

How it Works

For our virtual talks, we will be using Zoom. When you register you will receive information on how to access the talk.

For our in-person talks, you will receive information on the location of our talks.

Previous Talks

Our Scholars For Life! Speaker Series sessions are recorded. The talks will stay on our website for 30 days, and you can request a link during that time to watch a talk you may have missed.
