The Lectures Program staff advises student organizations and university units about arrangements for visiting scholars, artists, performers, public officials, and professionals on a wide range of topics.

However, funding assistance can only be obtained by a university-recognized student organization. 

University units may reserve spaces on campus themselves or have the Lectures Program staff make reservations using the Lectures account.

Lectures Program staff assist with:

• researching speakers and topics
• scheduling and room reservations
• negotiating fees
• fundraising and identifying cosponsors
• publicity assistance
• room setups
• book signings, with onsite sales through the University Book Store
• technical and audio-visual arrangements
• taping services
• reception and catering arrangements
• accounting and paperwork
