| Lyceum Series
The Lyceum Series of Johnson C. Smith University is one of the stellar
lecture and performance series in the Charlotte area, offering programs
of international stature. Although designed to enhance the education
experiences of students at the university, all programs are free
and open to the public. As a student from Seattle said during
the 1998-99 series, "Each time I go to a Lyceum program, I
discover a different side of myself." Indeed, the series serves
to enrich and challenge audiences with a wide range of ideas and
emotions.
Required for graduation, students must attend eight Lyceum events
during their tenure at the University, or an average of one event
per semester.

Every day that Johnson C. Smith exists, we are making
history; we are setting new paradigms for the future and we
are becoming one of the strongest premier institutions in
the nation.

The Lyceum Series of Johnson C. Smith University is one of
the stellar lecture and performance series among small
universities in the nation, offering programs of
international stature. Although designed to enhance the
education experiences of students at the University, all
programs are free and open to
the public. As Mr. Rosendo Felipe, Jr. of the class of 2008
wrote: “The Lyceum programs are very edifying. They remind
me why I am here!” Indeed, the series serves to challenge
students with
a wide range of ideas and emotions, often introducing them
to totally new experiences.
