by Jacqueline Jones Royster Professor Department of English Interim Dean, College of Humanities The Ohio State University May 5, 2004 4:00 p.m., EST Wexner Center Film/Video Theater 1871 North High Street Columbus, Ohio

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 designate for a purpose that promotes the academic goals of the lecturer’s college and/or of the University. Professor Royster has designated that her award should be used in support of graduate students in rhetoric and composition.
