2025 University Lecture | Call for Nominations
From Dr. Gloria Waters University Provost and Chief Academic Officer
The Office of the Provost asks for your assistance in identifying nominees for the 2025 University Lecturer.
The University Lecture was established in 1950 to honor members of the Boston University faculty engaged in outstanding research and creative pursuits. 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.
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. As a reminder, nominees must hold the title of full professor and be an active member of the Boston University faculty.
Nominations for the University Lecturer should be submitted online by Friday, April 4, 2025.
Information about the lectureship and a list of past lecturers can be found on the Provost’s Office website.
The selection process for the lecture is designed to seek the input of a broad cross-section of the University community. Thank you for your assistance in recognizing the outstanding research, scholarly, and creative efforts of Boston University’s talented faculty.
