We are delighted to announce our speakers for Faculty Pub Night 2025-26 at the William H. Hannon Library. This will be the 17th year of our signature series, first established when the library opened in fall 2009. Pub Night offers our guests an opportunity to hear LMU faculty present, discuss, and answer questions about their most recent “pub”-lication in a casual setting.
