May First Friday Lecture Series Focuses on Fisher’s Basilian Roots

President Gerard J. Rooney and University Archivist Nancy Greco will share the story of the impact of the Congregation of St. Basil throughout Fisher’s history during the May First Friday Lecture Series to be held on Friday, May 5.

With wonderful archival photos and anecdotes from the past, attendees will learn about Fisher before the University’s founding in 1948 to today, and how the Basilians have shaped Fisher and continue to impact its mission.

The lecture begins at 10:30 a.m. with a light reception preceding in the Joseph S. Skalny Welcome Center. This lecture will also be offered virtually via Zoom. Registration for the lecture, which is free and open to the public, is available online.

The next Fisher Friday Lecture, “Fisher and Rochester,” will be held on Friday, June 2, and features a presentation by Dr. Carolyn Vacca, professor and chair of the History Department.
