FRANKE FORUM LECTURE SERIES
On one afternoon each quarter through 2019, University alumni and friends gather downtown at the Gleacher Center for a public lecture by a distinguished member of the faculty, with discussion and reception following. These signature events were supported for over twenty years by the generosity of the Humanities Council of the University of Chicago.
