EVENTS
Minneapolis Fed to host viewing and discussion of
Bernanke lectures
In late March, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will teach a series of four classes on “The Federal Reserve and Its Role in Today’s Economy.” The Minneapolis Fed will open its doors for evening viewings of the lectures, followed by a dialogue on their content.
The classes, which begin March 20, are part of a course offered to undergraduates at the George Washington University School of Business. Viewings at the Minneapolis Fed will be held in the evening on the same day as the lectures, and after the video visitors will be able to ask questions and discuss content with Minneapolis Fed economists and staff.
This marks the first time the Minneapolis Fed has offered such a program, and seating is limited. If you are interested in attending, you must register for the event. Viewings at the Minneapolis Fed will be held on March 20, 22, 27 and 29.
For anyone interested who can’t make it in person, the Board will webcast Chairman Bernanke’s lectures. Webcasts are scheduled for March 20, 22, 27 and 29 and will begin at 11:45 a.m. CDT. Online viewing will be available to the public on the Federal Reserve Ustream channel. After the lectures, the Board will post transcripts and video recordings on the Board of Governors web site.
