* In 2008, the Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecture was moved from the spring to the fall. To more accurately reflect the timing of the lecture, the numbering sequence skipped ahead one year following the 2012-13 lecture. While the award is presented in fall, the lecture typically occurs in the following spring semester.
