What is Town and Gown?
The Town and Gown series is a collaboration among MSU’s AgeAlive, East Lansing’s Prime Time, and the Social Science Scholars Program to provide Greater Lansing area seniors with opportunities for social connection, intellectual enrichment, and engagement in meaningful activities. The Town and Gown presentation series involves MSU faculty and alumni giving entertaining and accessible live talks on a wide range of topics: from psychology, music and history to politics, climate change and technology. The participants consist of Greater Lansing seniors and students from Michigan State University. Presentations are delivered live via Zoom every Tuesday evening from 5pm-6:30pm between early August and mid-June. These sessions are free and participants have every opportunity to ask questions of the speakers. See below for the upcoming presentations. If you would like to attend one or more of these sessions, please go to this registration page. If you would like to see archived presentations, please scroll down the list below.
