The University Distinguished Lecture Series was inaugurated in 1996 as one of the University's highest honors for a senior faculty member. The lectureship is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement, particularly, but not exclusively, in research, scholarship, or creative activity. The President's and Provost's Advisory Committee reviews nominations and recommends candidates to the President and Provost for final selection.

The Office of Academic Affairs presents an award of $5,000 to the University Distinguished Lecturer to be spent in support of an academic program of her or his choice. Professor Edwards designated that his award should be given to support travel by graduate students in the Department of Entomology and the Environmental Sciences Program who present papers at national and international conferences.
