The Profiles and Perspectives Community Enrichment Series, sponsored by the Noble Foundation, was initiated in August, 1998. The purpose of the series is to enable the southern Oklahoma community to enjoy interesting and stimulating discussions and lectures that would otherwise not be available to area citizens. The idea behind this program is consistent with the Noble Foundation's strong interest in the quality of life of the people of Ardmore and southern Oklahoma.

Details of the 2008-2009 season are now available.
