History Lecture Series Presents 'Growing Together: Madonna University and Livonia'

Learn with us 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17, during this free historical lecture on the relationship between Livonia and Madonna University over the years. This lecture is in the Alexander Blue House at Greenmead Historical Park, and no registration or payment is needed.

Established in 1937, Madonna University, sponsored by the Felician Sisters, and the City of Livonia continue to respond to challenges and opportunities that shaped their growth and progress. Noting contributions of leaders of both the university and the City, Sr. Nancy Marie Jamroz will show that it takes a community to make a vision become a reality for the benefit of that community.
