Former Georgia Governor Nathan Deal will hold a guest lecture on Tuesday at Brenau University to celebrate Brenau's Learning and Leisure Institute's 30 years of programming.
According to a press release from the university, Deal will discuss the challenges of the past 250 years to our form of government at the state and federal levels in the lecture titled "The Keeping of Our Republic."
“We welcome the public to help BULLI celebrate our 30th year, and join us as we celebrate the good works of BULLI and its vision to be a model lifelong learning community, accessible to and meeting the needs of a diverse and growing population of mature adults,” BULLI Executive Director Tim Bryant said. “We are grateful for Gov. Deal’s support of BULLI by serving as a guest lecturer.”
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7 p.m. in the Hosch Theatre at the John S. Burd Center for Performing Arts. A pre-event reception to celebrate BULLI begins at 6 p.m. in the Burd Center lobby. Advance registration is required for the event due to limited seating. Visit this link to register for the event.
The BULLI program was organized in spring 1994 by Brenau administrators, led by John Burd, Brenau's president at the time, and members of the Gainesville community.
"From the beginning, Brenau professors, community experts, professionals, and BULLI members have taught courses that span a variety of interests, including academic, arts, self-improvement, and health and wellness," the release said.
New and signature BULLI courses and experiences, open only to BULLI members, are planned throughout the year. Deal's lecture topic is planned to be expanded into a BULLI course that will consist of six in-person sessions. Cost for the members-only course is $45.
