The Common Hour

The Common Hour is dedicated to fostering inquiry and conversation across the campus community about pressing issues and big questions.

Common Hour Spring 2025

Common Hour for Fall 2024 will be held concurrently with plenary sessions for Wilson’s FYS 100 First-Year Seminar course. One of the hallmarks of Wilson’s FYS course is the student work on their WISER projects—projects researching and exploring ideas of great interest to them. Each student’s WISER project culminates in a speech on their subjects. To help model both the end product of FYS and the passion and dedication to research and learning that is so integral to Wilson, Common Hour will be bringing faculty scholars, and our Orr Forum scholar, to FYS this year.

The rest of the community is invited to join our first-year students, either in person in the Brooks Auditorium, or via Zoom.

In Spring 2025, Common Hour returns to its roots, focusing on faculty research presentations in more intimate settings allowing for plenty of time for questions, conversation, and consideration.
