The Flagler College Community Lecture Series continues on Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at 10 a.m., with a presentation by Dr. Jessica Howell entitled "Myth Busters: The Online Takeover of Education." The lecture will be held in the college's stunning Solarium in Ponce Hall.

This year's theme is "The Education Conversation," with a variety of discussion planned to address questions about the value and usefullness of a liberal arts education.
