Established in 2001, the Women of Wisdom Society was formed to bring women in the school community together to share in the pursuit of knowledge and the joy of learning. Each fall, distinguished educators, innovators and professionals visit Loyola Academy to present thought-provoking lectures followed by lively discussions that often continue through lunch. It’s a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends—and make some new ones!

The 2012 WOW lecture series begins on Tuesday, October 9th, and continues for three additional weeks. Each morning lecture is followed by a delicious lunch served in the Marillac Room. You may purchase either a 2- or 4-lectures series, and subscribers also have the option of joining our kick-off bus tour on October 2nd (limited to 45 participants).

The series fee is $200 for all four lectures, $125 for two lectures, and an additional $65 for the bus tour. For more information, contact Joan Schniedwind at jschniedwind@loy.org or 847-920-2765, or click on our online brochure. Take advantage of online registration—it’s a snap!

Set aside Tuesday mornings in October and be enlightened and entertained at the Women of Wisdom Autumn Lecture Series!
