Scopes “Monkey” Trial Centennial Seminar Series

Join us in Spring 2025 as we have some really great seminars lined up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the infamous Scopes “Monkey” Trial. We’ll update this page as we get the OK to advertise these events and get the dates set in stone.

Seminar 1:

A dark, mysterious silhouette of a human head with a large glowing question mark hovering over it. The background is subtle and dark, featuring faint, glowing elements related to evolutionary biology, such as DNA strands, fossil imprints, and abstract representations of natural selection. The overall mood of the image is intellectual and enigmatic, with no identifiable features on the silhouette.

Seminar 2:

A dark, mysterious silhouette of a human head with a large glowing question mark hovering over it. The background is subtle and dark, featuring soft, glowing elements related to law and justice, such as scales of justice, a gavel, and abstract legal documents. The overall mood of the image is serious and authoritative, with no identifiable features on the silhouette.
