McCarthy Lecture Series


Academic Lectures at CSB & SJU

In addition to classroom learning, students and the general public have the opportunity to participate in a variety of academic lectures throughout the year.  These lectures are just one way that CSB and SJU help to foster in our students critical thinking, effective communications, ethical evaluation, aesthetic appreciation and the patterns of inquiry, discovery and reasoning that are necessary to meet the challenges of a global information society.
