About the Yearlings Club Speaker Series

UofL at the Yearlings Club is a Sunday afternoon speaker series sponsored by the UofL College of Arts and Sciences and the Yearlings Club, offering serious discussion of community issues. Our goal is to find solutions.

There are many important issues addressed by this series. Talented individuals share their expertise and help us discover solutions. But the most important voice is YOURS! Bring a family member, friend, or young person and join the conversation!
