Hello All, Please see below for some of the exciting events going on at Delta College during the month of October. Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War Through October 31, 2014 Delta College Library Learning Information Center One of the most prestigious traveling exhibitions, "Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War," is on display in the Delta Library Learning Information Center until October 31, 2014. The traveling exhibition is funded by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to the National Constitution Center where it was organized with the assistance of the American Library Association Public Programs Office. For more information on the exhibit please see: http://www.delta.edu/llic/libraryresearch/exhibits.aspx Abraham Lincoln: A Life Monday, October 20 at 7pm Delta College Lecture Theater G160 (see map<http://www.delta.edu/aboutdelta/campus-locations.aspx>) The President's Speaker Series is proud to host one of the country's leading authorities on President Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War era, Dr. Michael Burlingame. Dr. Michael Burlingame is the Distinguished Chair in Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. He taught history for much of his academic career at Connecticut College in New London. He is the author of many books on President Lincoln and the Civil war, including "Abraham Lincoln: A Life," which won the 2010 prize for the finest scholarly work in English on Abraham Lincoln or the American Civil War solider. James McPherson, a historian, wrote in the New York Review of Books, "Michael Burlingame knows more about Abraham Lincoln than any other living person." Dr. Burlingame currently lives in Springfield, Illinois, where he is working on several Lincoln projects. His books will be available for purchase and author signing at the President's Speaker Series event. Learn more about Burlingame at his website<http://www.michaelburlingame.com>.

This Favored Land 10/22/2014 Monday, October 22 7 pm Delta College Lecture Theater (G160) The Delta College Chorale presents the world premier work commissioned by noted composer and jazz pianist Wendel Werner. This work was commissioned by Delta College with the generous support of the Saginaw Community Foundation and was inspired by Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg and Inaugural Addresses. Contact Dr. Tim Hendrickson 989-686-9373 for further details and information. Lincoln vs. Douglas - Live! Wednesday October 29 7 PM Delta College Lecture Theater (room G160) This event at Delta College will give spectators the opportunity to re-live the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. Using the actual words of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, actors will rehash the debates over slavery, in the context of the time. This eye-opening event will raise awareness of attitudes toward slavery and race in the 19th century. Due to the sensitive nature of the material, the program is recommended for middle school-age through adult audiences. After the one-hour debate, audience members will be invited to ask questions of Lincoln and Douglas, played by Fred Priebe and Len Steinberg, respectively. This event is free and open to students and community members. Anne W.
