Freshman at Bryant have a variety of speakers and events that they must attend as part of their course curriculum each year, however the upperclassmen are left on their own for the most part. Unfortunately this can often mean that upperclassmen miss out on great 
opportunities to experience some of the talented people that are frequently speaking at Bryant, simply because they are only targeted towards the freshman class.
Tuesday April 27 at 3:30pm, the freshman Liberal Arts Seminar will be hosting Anne Whiston Spirn in Janikies to compliment the readings taught in the freshman course. Although it may not directly correspond with upperclassmen course work I can assure you through reading up on Whiston Spirn it will be interesting for all audiences. The event will focus on Spirn’s book “Daring to Look”, which is written about one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Dorothea Lange.
