Fairhaven Lecture Series
Since 1983, UW-Whitewater faculty and staff from the Whitewater and Janesville campuses, along with area business and community leaders, have been presenting multi-disciplinary lectures to thousands of lifelong learners. Continuing Education partners with Fairhaven Senior Services to host the lectures during the academic year. Videos of lectures that have been recorded are posted to the website approximately one week after they take place.
Spring 2026
Our Stories, Our Future
At the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, our story is shaped by our people. In Our Stories, Our Future series, we share some of the stories of our people – student experiences, faculty expertise, historical and contemporary, unique and bold. We come together to celebrate our collective Warhawk story by building on the university’s future. It’s a bright narrative with plenty of pages yet to be written. This spring we come together with the UWW Foundation on their campaign for the future, and present our talented faculty, staff and students as they share their experiences on campus and off. Join us, won’t you?
Lectures are held on Mondays at 3 p.m. in Olm Fellowship Hall of Fairhaven Senior Services, 435 West Starin Road, Whitewater. All lectures are free and open to the public.
