In Fall 2004, Mary Tefft (Happy) White provided Roger Williams University with a generous gift to launch the annual program, Mary Tefft White Lecture Series. Since that time, the series, now known as Talking in the Library, hosts noted authors, scholars, and thinkers from our regional community and beyond. All lectures are free and open to the public.
