2021 - 2022 Tanner Center Theme
Building Cultures of Meaning
During the 2021-22 academic year, the Tanner Center will focus on “Building Cultures of
Meaning” as we prepare to celebrate the legacy of Grace A. Tanner, the wife of O.C. Tanner
who established the Tanner Lectures. Grace traveled to many countries, attended plays in both
New York and London, and loved to visit art galleries. She also valued time spent with family
and overcame some significant personal challenges. Events over the next year will invite
attendees to consider the activities and relationships that build meaning in their lives.
