Polymath Wannabes is currently serving the greater Reno/Sparks region of Northern Nevada, holding monthly meetings open to the community at large – where ideas, concepts and theories spanning an eclectic range of topical and classic subject matters are discussed. Our aim is to build an organization that fosters a more engaged public by providing a vehicle for the exchange of ideas regarding important cultural issues and other intellectual endeavors.
We have a simple vision: To reach across generations and ideologies, making a societal impact by creating a dynamic community for those who wish to expand their understanding of the world in which we live. To this end, we have established an in-person forum, conceived as a more satisfying and effective alternative to the largely unfulfilling exchanges available today via social media discourse.
Our first step is being taken in partnership with the initial local chapter of our non-profit, a student organization at the University of Nevada, Reno. Our group discussions are open to the public and will be held on the UNR campus. Once scheduled, the time, date, and room location will be available here. Admission is free; supporting memberships and one-time donations to fund our student scholarship program and administrative costs shall be greatly appreciated.
