Beginning in August 2025, Professor Henry Webb will be offering residential communities in the South Florida area the opportunity for a regular, discussion-based lecture series on important current events and news stories that are currently trending in the United States. Professor Webb is currently a Professor of Business and Legal Studies at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida. He has been an attorney since 1996, and has been a law professor since 2008.
Drawing on Professor Webb’s nearly 30 years as an attorney, and more than 15 years in the classroom as a law professor, each of Professor Webb’s one-hour lectures will facilitate an engaging and thought-provoking discussion of three or four events and stories from the national headlines. If time permits, Professor Webb will also prompt attendees to discuss other events and stories they have an interest in.
Professor Webb’s lectures are intended to encourage attendees to stay up to date on important current events and stories affecting our society, to think critically about societal issues, and to engage in stimulating discussions that will help attendees keep their minds sharp and actively engaged.
Professor Webb will avoid events and stories that are overly political or sensitive, and he will use the skills he has developed in the classroom as a law professor to defuse or move on from discussions that do become overly emotional or contentious.
Professor Webb will speak at participating residential communities once every two months, excluding the months of June and July each year, for a total of five lectures per year. Each of his presentations will be accompanied by a professional deck of slides. He will bring his own laptop, but he will require an HDMI cable to connect his laptop to a projector or monitor and an outlet in which to plug in his laptop. The fee for each lecture is $250.
