From the beginning, FYE has involved outside speakers and special events. Here a few highlights.

Special performance for FYE of Caryl Churchill’s play, Top Girls.

Should learning salsa dancing be part of a college education? This class thought so.

Former Assistant Secretary of Defense Torie Clarke (in vest) was a special visitor in fall 2011; some students were lucky enough to have lunch with her before her public forum on political communication, the war in Iraq, and other matters.

FYE Honors sections take field trips, in this case to the Art Institute of Chicago.

Students check out the art, both traditional and not at all (a recreated, hand-carved tree trunk).

All the art and lectures from the Chicago Humanities Festival built up quite an appetite in students.
