To live on the Lawn, the central quadrangle of Jefferson's campus and a world UNESCO heritage site, is one of the University's highest honors, given to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to service and learning. Jefferson designed the Lawn, which incorporates classrooms, residences, and the Rotunda, to foster symposia like The Rounds, which he felt were lost on campuses that segmented different aspects of student life.

The set of seminars on Saturday will be the first in a series of Jefferson Rounds in 2013. The Rounds will release its full calendar on September 15.
