Faculty share their knowledge and expertise with the Wausau community
In-person and streamed live on YouTube from UWSP Wausau’s James F. Veninga Theater, our HANK Talks feature our talented faculty, talking about what they know best.
Each talk starts at 7 p.m. and lasts about 30 minutes. They are followed with a live Q&A session.
