CHARTER LECTURE SERIES
The Charter Lecture Series, established in 1988, was named to honor the high ideals expressed in the 1785 Charter which founded the University of Georgia as the first chartered state university in the United States. A committee comprised of senior faculty members selects speakers of the first rank for the series. Charter Lecturers are speakers who, though situated within their academic fields, can reach out to the whole University community and to the public beyond with ideas of general importance for a free society. In addition to presenting the lecture, Charter Lecturers interact in various ways with interested students and faculty, normally remaining for two days so as to become acquainted with the University in informal as well as formal settings. The committee welcomes input for future lectures.
