This event is part of Radford University's World War II 75th Anniversary Series: Experience and Legacy. To commemorate the lives of those who fought for freedom in World War II, Radford University is hosting a semester-long series of events dedicated to remembering the heroes’ significant impact on society. The series was put on hold during the spring, but resumed for the fall term.

“We want attendees to understand the dimensions of the war in different ways,” said Matthew Oyos, Ph.D., professor of history. “We want attendees to consider the perspective of that generation. What will the world be like without people who don't know that awful conflict as a living memory? It's a cautionary tale that we can all learn from today.”

The events will feature a dialogue between speaker and audience, a major goal of the series.

Admission is free and open to the public.

The “World War II 75th Anniversary Series: Experience and Legacy” series of events is a cross-discipline collaboration, showcasing the vast impact of World War II and sponsored by the Radford University College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences, Department of History, McConnell Library and the Office of the Provost.
