distinguished faculty lecture series

Throughout the year

Frameworks for the Future outlines strategies for enhancing the physical landscape of the campus, which many of our 2009-2010 events celebrate. The Frameworks also highlight the importance of a first class faculty. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is proud of its faculty members and their many accomplishments. The Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series, an annual event for more than thirty years, is just one way that we honor and celebrate our faculty.

All lectures are at 4 p.m. and are free and open to all. A reception follows each lecture.
