Life is about constant discovery. Never staying static in your understanding. Always looking for new sources of insight and inspiration. And that’s why the January Series was created. The January Series is a lecture series that takes place each year at Calvin University that nurtures curiosity and knowledge, creates lifelong learners, and builds conversations that create better global citizens in God’s world. An educational outreach on behalf of Calvin University, containing brilliant speakers, fascinating topics, enlightened conversation, and surprising discoveries. By promoting education, civic engagement, and open inquiry, we’re growing a community of lifelong learners who don’t want to be passive observers but active participants in creating a better, more inspired, more inclusive world.

More recent recordings are available with closed-captioning on YouTube.
