Every January, Calvin College invites the community to attend its free January Series. For 15-days, speakers from across the country visit Calvin and provide thought-provoking lectures on some of the most pertinent topics being discussed right now.
The 2019 series takes place on weekdays from Jan. 3–23, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Keep in mind that the 1,000-seat Covenant Fine Arts Center Auditorium often fills and will sometimes overflow into video rooms for presentations of the January Series. The presentations begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. at which time the main floor doors are closed and late arrivals will be directed to the balcony if seats are available or to video overflow. You can also watch the speakers via live audio streaming. Find out more here.
