At Randolph-Macon College, we have seen how interactions with thought-provoking speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds and multiple perspectives, enrich our students’ academic experience. An endowed Speakers Series provides our students, faculty and the wider community with a forum in which productive discussions and new thinking are generated. The College has put into place the tools to identify and engage such speakers across disciplines and to provide appropriate outlets for them on campus. To meet the demand for such interactions, the College hopes to create multiple Speakers Series.
