Continuing Education

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.


Spring 2025

Remarkable Women

What can we learn about the leadership of women in business, art, activism, and sport and how their accomplishments have shaped who we are today? The stories of these women across the world intrigue us, inspire us, and they remind us how their creativity and perseverance continue to impact our lives. Join us this spring as we examine a series of remarkable women across the globe and throughout history.

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.
