Academic Adventurers Series UWM's Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal Friday afternoon programs which give members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues adventures abroad and afield.

All programs are free and open to the public.
The Map Society holds periodic meetings at the AGSC usually featuring a presentation accompanied by a related exhibit drawn from the Collection. Social hour and refreshments follow each meeting. The Maps and America Lecture series was inagurated by the noted cartographic historian, Brian Harley, through the generous sponsorship of Authur and Janet Holzheimer of the Chicago area, in 1990. In the ten years of it's exsistence, the series has featured many of the leading figures in the field of map history and provided a multi-faceted survey of this rapidly developing field. The lecture is held every year in April.
