The Nielsen Library’s adventure-themed lecture series, Earth, Water, Sky: Conversations on the Great Outdoors – San Luis Valley and Beyond, continues this fall!

All events take place on the second floor of the Nielsen Library and are free and open to the public.

We’ll kick things off on Sunday, September 20 @ 6pm:

Join Broughton Coburn, author of The Vast Unknown: America’s First Ascent of Everest, joins us for a discussion of the triumphant 1963 United States Everest expedition. Dick Pownall, a member of the 1963 team, will also be present to share his experiences and answer any climbing queries.

And later this fall…
