WHERE: Public Affairs Center (PAC) Conference Room C/D, located on the lower level of the PAC on the UIS campus.
DETAILS: The holiday season is rooted in religious belief, secular practices, ethnic unity and music. David Bertaina, UIS associate professor of history, and Sharon Graf, UIS associate professor of ethnomusicology, will discuss the origins and practices of the modern day holiday season.
A special performance by students in the UIS music program will also highlight the program.

These lunch-time programs will stimulate thinking as they build upon the university's tradition of open and intelligent dialogue.
