Bismarck State College is pleased to present Conversations at BSC, a series of lectures for the public. The topic on Sunday, February 21 is "Mussolini's Last Day."   Who was this most infamous ally of Adolph Hitler? What does his ignoble death with his mistress tell us about the human spirit?

Each 'conversation' begins with a presentation by Clay Jenkinson, and includes discussion between Jenkinson and BSC President Larry C. Skogen. Questions from the audience complete the conversation. This is BSC's Distinguished Scholar of the Humanities Lecture Series held Sundays at 3 p.m. in the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium The purpose of the lectures is to enrich the community's understanding of our common humanity. The public is welcome to all programs.
