Events schedule: October 2012, first revision
R&B singer Francine returns to 乐播传媒 for an Olin Arts Alive performance Oct. 13.
Hello from 乐播传媒! Here鈥檚 a revised listing of public events at the college from Oct. 5-31, 2012.
Please note that information for three events has been corrected. The Parents & Family Weekend dance concerts take place Oct. 6 and 7, not 5 and 6. And Pat Griffin’s talk Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in College Athletics happens on the 11th, not the 12th.
In addition, admission to Global Lens film screenings is free, not paid, as we had previously indicated. We regret the errors.
Finally, events have been added: A panel discussion exploring religious perspectives on marriage equality on Oct. 8, and a talk by the president of the Frederick Douglass Family Foundation on Oct. 24. Updates to this listing will be issued as events are added, dropped or updated.
Except as noted, these events are open to the public at no charge. (Where two admission fees appear, the cost for the general public is listed first, followed by the cost for students and seniors.)
Want updated events information? Visit the daily Events page. Questions or comments? Contact events editor Doug Hubley at calendar@bates.edu.
Thanks for your interest in 乐播传媒!
