In one such instance, Tennessee Technological University students and others can attend a live lecture series presented by nationally recognized speakers by traveling only as far as the university library. On five Tuesday evenings beginning Sept. 24, satellite video teleconference technology will bring noted speakers right to the university's Media Center. Among those speakers is John Frohnmayer, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. In that position, Frohnmayer served on the front lines during one of the nation's most hotly contested battles over censorship of government-sponsored art during the tenure of President Bush. Each lecture includes a primary speaker and a moderator, both with expertise in the field.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
After some of the lectures, a panel of speakers at Tennessee Tech will lead local viewers in a forum discussion of the topics presented. For a schedule of lecture dates and topics, call 372-3797.
