Coffee and Concepts

Imagine college with...

• No exams.
  • No studying.
    • No prerequisites.
      • No grades.

• One session, one time, that starts late enough not to set an alarm and ends early enough to make the downtown scene.
• A chance to sip coffee and explore modern ideas with some of our University's best minds and favorite personalities.
• The essence of education. The true joy of learning.

Isn't this the college experience you were hoping for?

Join us for COFFEE AND CONCEPTS, an interactive seminar series with UCSB professors, sponsored by the College Honors Program. Don't miss out on an opportunity to meet professors and get a glimpse of what their work is about.

The next Coffee and Concepts will be on Tuesday, May 17th, 5-6:30 p.m., in North Hall 2212. Professor Matthew Hanser will lead a seminar titled "The Morality of War."
