5 Join us at 7 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 13-August 5, for some stimulating discussions on the German immigrants.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
Registered summer students may receive 1 or 3 university credits for this program. The University Summer Forum examines the diverse experiences of many rural laborers, artisans, workers, and intellectuals who left German lands to settle in the United States, especially those coming to Wisconsin. Guest lecturers will discuss the European background of these immigrants and the role they played in historical occurrences in the U.S. and world history since 1848 . The rich resources of Wisconsin will provide information on settlement, employment, architecture, religion, education, old traditions, and other influences of the German immigrants. Your continuing education resource for a lifetime.
