The Western "Civ Series"


This course is a program. You will be offered opportunities called the "Civ Series" to complement and reinforce your coursework with a variety of voluntary activities:

  1. Civ Seminar Series (TAs, departmental Research Assistants [RAs], and gifted undergraduates will provide you with more detailed consideration of particular topics in approximately hour-long seminars in the AMU or in other campus locations);

  2. Civ Cinema Series (films hosted by TAs, RAs, or the Director);

  3. Civ Museum Series (informal tours of the permanent exhibit entitled "Temples, Tells, and Tombs"at the Milwaukee Public Museum located at 800 W. Wells Street [one block north of the Public Library] on 11 and 18 September (Mondays) from 3:15-4:00 PM [free admission with proof of residence in Milwaukee County, e.g., a letter written to you at Marquette]); and

  4. Civ Art Series (guided tours of the Haggerty Art Museum [TBA] hosted by the Educational Curator and tours of the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) (ancient to Renaissance/Baroque collections) led by TAs [nominal donation to MAM]).

    The MAM is located at 750 North Lincoln Memorial Drive (the "War Memorial Building"at the lakefront). Use the East entrance. The MAM is currently engaged in an exciting building program. Parking is available on the north side of the building. There is a parking lot fee if you choose to drive.

    (The Director is also planning on conducting a tour of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, in conjunction with the Byzantine Empire unit.)
