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 Mosley-Thompson has designated her award to
support the ice core paleoclimate research group at The Ohio State
University.
