Common Hour
Thursdays at 11:30 a.m.
Common Hour enables the Franklin & Marshall College and Lancaster communities to gather for culturally and academically enriching events at midday on Thursdays during the academic year. This opportunity to engage in a campus-wide dialogue originates with Common Hour and then extends beyond the confines of that time into classrooms, house commons, dining halls and beyond. These are vital international, national, local and institutional issues that are relevant to all.
