The Longest Table is a free university gathering that brings together students, faculty, staff, and community members for a shared meal in The Circle in front of The Lyceum. In recent years, we have also taken the opportunity to honor James Meredith Day (celebrated annually on October 1) by scheduling TLT in late September.

The Longest Table aims to:

• Bring together students, staff, faculty, and community members.

• Build trust and promote civic optimism.

• Encourage honest conversations about the university's legacy.

• Break down social and cultural barriers
