Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecture

The Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecture is a lectureship recognizing a faculty member who has made significant contributions to graduate education at Auburn University. The lecture is jointly sponsored by the Graduate School and the Auburn Alumni Association. The Auburn Alumni Association generously provides a $2,000 award to the recipient, who is nominated by his or her department and selected by a committee of graduate faculty.  Awarded every academic year since 1975-76, the lectureship fosters a better understanding of the significant scholarly contributions made by Auburn University’s faculty.

* In 2008, the Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecture was moved from the spring to the fall. The lecture series has continued as a fall event in subsequent years. To more accurately reflect the timing of the lecture, the numbering sequence skipped ahead one year following the 2012-13 lecture.
