Thursday Special Events

Each Thursday, CLL hosts a special guest speaker from our community. All events take place in the UWF Emerald Coast Campus Auditorium from 12:00 to 12:45. (See Campus Map for directions.)
Feedback from students who have attended is always extremely positive. Attendees have loved each and every speaker. However, attendance has dropped off significantly this semester. So, to entice more people to take the time and learn from these special speakers, we will be giving away a Door Prize to one winner in attendance each week.
