UW-Sheboygan professors to present new Speakers’ Series
German history subject of March 5 lecture

The University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan and its faculty, instructors and staff invite the Sheboygan community to a new Speakers’ Series that will feature UW-S instructors sharing presentations on their research and interest areas. Each semester, the campus will offer a new series of speakers and topics

The next presentation will be held on March 5 at 7 p.m. in the Wombat Room (Room 2114) in the Main Building on the UW-S campus. UW-Sheboygan Assistant Professor of History Dr. Mark Karau will discuss “Throttling the Kaiser: The Impact of the British Blockade on WWI Germany.”

According to Carrie Hoppe, UW-Sheboygan Director of University Relations, the new lecture program will allow UW-Sheboygan instructors to showcase their interests and scholarly research in a new way to the community at large.

“As faculty and instructors, these individuals share their knowledge every day in the classroom, but each of them also have special interest areas that they enjoy learning more about whenever they can,” Hoppe said. “This series will allow the presenters to share that research and knowledge with others who might also share similar interests and give the community direct access to the skills and talents of UW-Sheboygan’s outstanding professors to further encourage lifelong learning.”

All presentations will be held in the Wombat Room (Room 2114) at 7 p.m. Admission is free to the community and students.
