UNC-CH Intellectual Climate Discussion Lunches

The Intellectual Climate Implementation Committee (ICIC) and the Office of the Director of Distinguished Scholarships and Intellectual Life invite all faculty, staff, and students to participate in monthly discussion lunches centered around topics related to the intellectual climate on our campus.

All lunches are held on the fourth Friday of the month through May 2000 in room 210 of the Student Union from noon to 1:30. Coffee, lemonade and light snacks will be provided. Please feel free to bring your lunch. Presentations will be short to allow plenty of time for discussion and debate.

Note that the March lunch will not be held in room 210 of the Union. It will be held in room 102 Abernethy. Abernethy is at the corner of Columbia and Cameron Avenue. The handicapped ramp is at the back of the building next to the police substation.

If you have questions or suggestions about the lunch series, please contact Elizabeth A. Evans, ICIC Co-Chair at 962-6344 or evans@unc.edu.
