About this event
On June 15, 1943, Susi Ramstein became the first woman to take LSD—and the first psychedelic guide.
The Department of History is pleased to announce the relaunch of the popular 7 Nights of History public history talks.
This year’s theme is 7 Days that Changed the World. Each talk will explore how one day’s events reflected earlier history and/or had an impact on subsequent history.
