All events in t he series are presented with free admission.\n\nThis series is sponsored by the 2023 Appalachian Studies Association Conference\, Ohio Honors Program\ , Center for Campus and Community Engagement\, Multicultural Center\, Black Student Cultural Programming Board\, Hocking Athens Perry Community Action Program\, Athens County Public Libraries\, University Libraries\, Honors T utorial College\, Center for Advising\, Career\, and Experiential Learning\ , and OHIO Fellows.
