The Tanner Symposium on Democracy and Culture: Teaching the Liberal Arts Today was held on Thursday and Friday, October 20–21, 2011 in the Tanner Room of the Sherratt Library.

The Grace A. Tanner Lecture in Human Values will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 in the Gilbert Great Hall, Hunter Conference Center. The lecture will be presented by Jared Diamond, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and celebrity scientist. The topic, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed was based on Mr. Diamond's book by the same name and discusses what makes certain societies especially vulnerable to collapse. Audiences will walk away with profound insights into how we got where we are and what this may mean for where we are going. Entering an intellectual maelstrom, they will be discussing and debating these ideas for months to come.
