The Crawley Great Lives Lecture Series is pleased to announce its 19th season of free public programs, beginning on Tuesday, January 18, and continuing with 16 presentations through Thursday, March 10. The program schedule is listed below with information about each topic and speaker. 

Following the 2021 season of virtual programs only, the ‘22 season is scheduled to return to an in-person format with lectures in Dodd Auditorium on the UMW Fredericksburg campus. It is important to note that University protocols require that all attendees present proof of vaccinations or recent negative COVID test in order to enter the venue; in addition, masks will be mandatory. 

Given the still-uncertain nature of the COVID pandemic, persons wishing to attend the lectures should first check this website or call the Great Lives Hotline (540-654-1065) for updates concerning possible protocol changes or event cancellations. 

All programs are open to the public free of charge. Dodd Auditorium opens at 6:30 p.m., with lectures beginning at 7:30. Recorded video copies will be uploaded to our website and will be available in the weeks following the live lecture.
