Green Room

The Green Room, a community-wide educational experiment open to all local residents, will meet six Monday nights during the fall semester at the Englert Theatre. The course is a University Honors course taught by David Gould.

The Green Room invites innovative thinkers to bring to the course the most important question they believe “twenty-somethings” should be trying to answer and that higher education should be trying to inform.
