If you work in downtown Decatur and have a free lunch hour, Emory wants to expand your horizons!  Starting tomorrow  the University will host one talk each month for the remainder of the year branded as “Life of the Mind“. Each lecture starts at noon (and I assume runs about an hour).  See dates, location and lecture topics below.

From Emory’s Press Release…

Lectures will be held at noon in the Jones Room of Woodruff Library. Visitor parking is available in the Fishburne deck, 1672 N. Decatur Road. For more information, call 404-727-6055.
