How does the speaker and topic meet the criteria identified in the UD Speaker Series Mission Statement? *
The University of Dayton Speaker Series serves as a catalyst for purposeful and critical discussion of contemporary issues through dynamic public presentations and related programming. Working with campus and community partners, the UD Speaker Series sponsors presenters who have achieved substantial national or international recognition for expertise in their fields of inquiry or artistic expression; represent, as a series, a diversity of intellectual, cultural, political, and religious perspectives; and engage directly with students, faculty, and staff in ways that support learning and living in community.
