Aficionados Speaker Series

The Hulbert Center Aficionados are people united by an interest in the American Southwest. Begun in the fall of 1984, it is open to all wanting to learn more about the land, people, environment, arts, culture and politics of the region. Aficionados receive notices for the regular luncheons. The only costs to members are the lunches. There are no dues. While not required, several Aficionados are among the regular donors to Hulbert Center programs. All donations are tax exempt.

To make a reservation for any of the luncheons below, send an email to swshulbert@coloradocollege.edu. Reservations are required 48 hours in advance.
