Berglund Seminar Series
Each semester the Honors College invites faculty and community partners to participate in our Berglund Seminar and Challenging Conversations series. The purpose of the series is to generate meaningful discussions and debates outside of the classroom.
VCU faculty have presented on a range of subjects from e-cigarettes, to 3D printing museum artifacts, to representation and identity. We have also had community partners discuss topics like affordable housing, the GRTC Pulse and Richmond transit system and helping families of inmates.
Our Challenging Conversations are designed to bring a small group (10-15) of students together to engage in conversation around challenging topics. In contrast, the Berglund Seminars can be on a variety of topics and are open to the public.
