2017 University Lecture – Nominations Deadline April 1, 2017
From Dr. Jean Morrison, University Provost and Chief Academic Officer
The University Lecture Committee asks for your assistance in identifying nominees for the 2017 University Lecturer.
Nomination forms are due by April 1, 2017, and should be submitted via e-mail to the Office at the Provost at provost@bu.edu.
The University Lecture was established in 1950 to honor members of the Boston University faculty engaged in outstanding research. University Lecturers represent a vast array of disciplines and research topics, yet share a common commitment to excellence in scholarly inquiry and discovery. Presented each fall, the annual lecture provides an opportunity to highlight the work of a distinguished scholar and engage both the University community and the broader public in the vibrant intellectual life of Boston University.
Boston University has instituted a new selection process this year designed to seek the input of a broader-cross section of the University community – one that we hope will encourage the nomination and selection of candidates who reflect BU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Information about the Lectureship, a list of past lecturers, and a downloadable 2017 nomination form can be found on the following website: https://www.bu.edu/provost/awards-publications/award-opportunities/lecture/.
Please consider nominating one or more of your colleagues for this honor and also bringing this invitation to the attention of others in the University community.
Thank you for your assistance in recognizing the outstanding research efforts of Boston University’s talented faculty.
