Interdisciplinary Lecture Series
A cornerstone of the GE Honors Program is the Interdisciplinary Lecture Series. Each semester, the series centers around a different critical issue of our time. Topics have included AI's impact, climate change, Black Lives Matter, technology in the 21st century. Invited faculty deliver hour-long lectures about their own research. Through these lectures, students learn about important topics and gain awareness of how these topics are studied across the disciplines.
