The European Union Center strives to record as many lectures as possible in order to reach those unable to attend campus events. All EUC videos from Spring 2010 to Spring 2015 can be found on the Ensemble video library. For recordings of lectures and interviews from Fall 2019 onwards, see below or visit our YouTube channel. We are currently working on providing closed captioning for all of the videos.
