“For the past 22 years the UM Alumni Association has produced its Community Lecture Series, a series of six weekly lectures showcasing the amazing faculty at work on the UM Campus. This year’s theme is “Shoot For the Moon”. Six lectures that are as informative as they are spell-binding. Won’t you join me for some learning? Yes, it is very suitable for kids from middle school on up. Who knows, they might be future Griz!!!”   Geoff Badenoch
