What is The Frommer Society?
The Frommer Society is a series of public lectures and panel discussions presented throughout each academic year. NOCA faculty members and guest speakers fearlessly explore topics across the full range of human experience – politics, religion, ethics, literature, history, art, music, and more. Marked by curiosity, honesty, and civility, these intellectually engaging conversations are a wonderful opportunity for anyone to partake in the rich classical approach to learning NOCA students enjoy every day.
Who is Dr. Morris Frommer?
The lecture is named for long-time friend of NOCA, Dr. Morris Frommer, whose contributions of time, talent, and treasure have significantly fortified the school’s intellectual culture throughout its formative years. Dr. Frommer has spent time in the classroom tutoring, substitute teaching, and even occasionally lecturing on American history. Over and above the financial support he and his wife Barbara have provided, many of the history books in NOCA’s Upper School library came from Dr. Frommer’s personal collection.
