CLASS Alumni Lecture Series Features Ecologist Jut Wynne
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) hosts the CLASS Alumni Connection Series twice each year, which aims to inform students about the value of a liberal arts education. On Tuesday, March 4, alumnus and ecologist Jut Wynne (93’) will return to the University at 6:30 p.m. in the Williams Center Multipurpose Room to share his lecture, “The Mysteries of Easter Island Caves.”
Free and open to the public, the lecture will provide an overview of natural history, ancient human settlement, new species discoveries and archaeological findings from caves on the most remote inhabited island on earth.
