Lecture/Artist Series Mission

The mission of the Lecture/Artist Series is to bring cultural enrichment to the students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community of Mount Vernon Nazarene University in accordance with the University’s purpose as a Christian liberal arts institution.

In order for students to develop the requisite care for such things as beautiful art or music, a graciously spoken word, a well-told narrative, a disciplined intellectual process in pursuit of truth, a dramatic portrayal, a political insight, etc., the University seeks to provide the opportunities for such exposure and cultural transformation in the public programs of the Lecture/Artist Series.
