The Provost's Awards Lecture Series is intended to honor and showcase the recipients of the Provost's Awards and provide them an opportunity to present, share and discuss their work with the campus. Another goal of this series is to raise the level of academic and intellectual discourse among our colleagues, and to further enrich connections with others across campus.

All lectures are held from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. in the Henry Madden Library, Room 2206 (Second Floor).
