UW-Whitewater’s Fairhaven Lecture Series Celebrates 40 Years of Community Conversations

UW-Whitewater’s Office of Continuing Education and Fairhaven Senior Services are recognizing “A Legacy of Lifelong Learning: Celebrating 40 years of Community Conversations” through the Fairhaven Lecture Series. Since 1983, UW-Whitewater faculty and staff and community and business leaders have offered free presentations on topics ranging from art and literature to history and politics.  

This fall, we celebrate four decades of timely and relevant presentations by showcasing the University’s award-winning faculty and staff who are committed to providing exceptional educational experiences for all. Once dubbed “one of Whitewater’s best kept secrets,” the Series has become a well-known tradition, engaging our community and transforming lives. Join us in celebrating 40 years of conversations, won’t you?

Lectures in the Fall Fairhaven Lecture Series, “A Legacy of Lifelong Learning: Celebrating 40 Years of Community Conversations” are free and open to the public. They are held on Mondays at 3:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall at Fairhaven Senior Services, 435 West Starin Road, Whitewater. Lectures will be recorded and posted to our website and YouTube channel. Videos of lectures from this and previous series can be accessed for free any time after they are posted.
