As classes come to an end, take a break from your studies to continue learning by exploring your interests outside the classroom. This week’s “Every Event On Campus” features the analysis of Guatemala’s political crisis, the annual Beyond Content lecture series, and the launch of a new series on social work and social movements.

Here at Bwog, we do our best to bring your attention to important guest lecturers and special events on campus. If you have a correction or addition, let us know in the comments or email events@bwog.com.
