Wittenberg is excited to host its sixth annual Liberal Arts in Action: A Celebration of Learning on Friday, April 6. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. at the Benham-Pence Student Center and the Joseph C. Shouvlin Center for Lifelong Learning.
This year鈥檚 event complements the start of a new chapter in Wittenberg's history as it comes one day after students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends celebrated the inauguration of the University's 15th president, Dr. Michael L.

Dedicated to recognizing student achievement, the Celebration of Learning showcases student talent from various academic departments and co-curricular activities, as it unites students, faculty and staff around this year's academic accomplishments.
