We're honoured to be joined by a stellar list of speakers who will address the vital role of humanities and languages in a STEM university context, and world more generally.  As we look backwards over the past century of developments in humanities and languages at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, we hope you will join us in thinking forward to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's Class of 2030 and beyond.
