The Renard Lecture Series is made possible in part by a grant from the Henry H. Renard Foundation, sponsors, and program participants. 

Musical concerts and first-person accounts are combined with traditional lectures by scholars and experts in their fields. Presenters offer stimulating, informative, engaging, and unique insights into music, literature, art, history, sports, take-out film, archeology, and pop culture, and more. The series is open to all and geared toward people 50 years of age and older seeking a cultural and intellectual experience. Join us once or participate in all!
