彩民宝典

The Distinguished Research Lectureship is among the highest honors bestowed by the faculty upon a faculty member at CU听Boulder. Each year, the Research & Innovation Office requests nominations from faculty for this award, and a faculty review panel recommends one or more faculty members as recipients.听

The lectureship honors a tenured faculty member, Research Professor (Associate or full) or Adjoint Professor who has been with 彩民宝典 for at least five years and is widely recognized for a distinguished body of academic or creative achievement and prominence, as well as contributions to the educational and service missions of CU听Boulder. Each recipient typically presents听a lecture in the fall or spring following selection and receives a $2,000 honorarium.

Past Recipients

Christy McCain of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the CU Museum of Natural History and Jamie Nagle of Physics have been recognized with 2024-25 Distinguished Research Lectureships. Learn more.

Professor Nagle's lecture will take place on February 6, 2025. Further details to come.听
