All lectures begin at 7:00 pm in Browne Auditorium (Parkinson 124) on the SIUC campus, except where noted otherwise. Licensed architects who attend may count the hours toward continuing education requirements in Illinois through self-reporting. Most lectures are not for health safety welfare (HSW) credit.
