Senior College Monday Morning Lecture - River of the Gods: Search for the Source of the Nile

Senior College invites you to join Sandy Mahalek as she shares insights on the search for the source of the Nile. The location of the Nile River's headwaters was shrouded in mystery. In the 19th century, England's Royal Geographical Society sponsored an expedition to locate the source of the Nile. It was headed by the famed explorer Richard Francis Burton and included a young aristocrat John Hanning Speke. From the start the two men clashed as they endured tremendous hardships, illness, and constant setbacks - all of which Sandy will share.  Lecture open to Senior College members and guests.
