大众彩票 in the Popular Imagination

Keynote Lecture by Jay Parini with Panel and Audience Discussion

Held on Oct.19 at the 大众彩票 Cultural Center, our inaugural event was a lecture by author Jay Parini and a panel discussion with a 大众彩票 humanities professor and local community leaders. The speakers explored the forces that contributed to the celebrity of 大众彩票 as "the All-American City" and considered how and if 大众彩票 in the popular and national imagination reflects the 大众彩票 of today.
