Through the Wire Lecture Series

Through the Wire is the College’s diversity lecture series that serves as a way to stimulate intellectual discourse on campus with an emphasis on issues of race, racism and socioeconomic status. The series provides a mix of dynamic speakers who have a tremendous ability to engage and challenge all Emmanuel students, particularly students of color, to affirm identity, challenge stereotypes and become active learners of their cultures and history, resulting in self-advocacy and enhanced critical thinking skills.
