How are Lecture Series events chosen?
Short answer: Lectures Program events are chosen by students, for students.
The Lectures Program oversees funds provided by Iowa State’s Student Government to support speaker requests from recognized student organizations and to support lectures that add value to students’ educational experiences.
The Committee on Lectures, comprised of students across campus and supported by faculty and staff members, reviews requests for speakers covering a broad range of topics and issues from student organizations, academic units, individual students, and website submissions.
The Committee and the Lectures Program collaborate with dozens of students, faculty, and staff to coordinate more than 80 events each academic year.
The Committee solicits lectures on both sides of important issues and works closely with student organizations, in a non-partisan way, to explore the entire marketplace of ideas.
