BHSU TO HOST ANNUAL JOY OF LEARNING SERIES THIS MAY
Black Hills State University will be hosting the annual Joy of Learning, a unique speaker series that allows community members the opportunity to learn from faculty and locals who are experts in their fields. This year’s event will include 20 one-hour sessions and take place May 13, 14, 15, and 16.
The series will include lecture sessions on topics such as the current activity at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, landmarks in Black Hills history, a listener’s guide to orchestral music, and a presentation by Rushmore Bikes. In addition to lectures, the series will offer art demonstrations, musical performances, and a tour of a local sustainable farm.
All sessions will be held at the Joy Center on the BHSU campus unless otherwise indicated on the schedule. Sessions will be held at 9:30 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4 p.m. each day and are free and open to the community. Donations are welcome with proceeds going towards scholarships.
“The Joy of Learning was created simply to give BHSU and the Spearfish community the delight of learning new things just for the sake of learning,” said Dr. Amy Fuqua, dean of the College of Liberal Arts at BHSU.
