February’s First Round is on us! First Round brings the community together to meet new people, spark conversations, and explore what’s unfolding across Iowa City’s arts, business, and culture scene.

To launch the Office of Innovation's new partnership with this series, Robert Cargill, Roger A. Hornsby Associate Professor in the Classics at the University of Iowa, will explore the question: “Can Archaeology Prove the Bible?” in a conversation hosted by Jordan Jones.

We hope to see you there!
