A panel discussion, featuring the five speakers for this academic year's CAS Inquire series, "Uncertainty," will take place at 5 p.m. on March 24 in the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center, Ubuntu Room 202. The event is free and open to the public and will be live-streamed on Zoom. Register for Zoom online.

The panel will include faculty members who have presented throughout the 2025-26 season: Ross Dixon, Earth and atmospheric sciences; Lisa Kort-Butler, sociology; Ingrid Haas, political science; Luis Othoniel Rosa, modern languages; and Stephen Lahey, classics and religious studies.

Videos of each of the previous talks are available on the event webpage.

Students in the CAS Inquire program connect with college thought leaders and other inquisitive students to discuss ideas, using a college-wide series of public lectures as a focal point. The series launched in September 2019, and themes have included the rise of the machines, finding common ground, and pain and pleasure.

During the three-year program, CAS Inquire students take specialized courses, help with facilitating the program, and enjoy additional benefits. They can apply, or be nominated by faculty, for the program as freshmen.
