Central to the University’s vibrant intellectual community is programming that brings accomplished scholars, thought leaders, policy makers and practitioners to campus to inform, challenge and educate. A new lecture fund has been created to contribute to this effort.  

Established in 2020 through a generous gift made by Wayne C. Lemley PhD ’80, the Lemley Family Leadership Lecture is designed to bring exceptional leaders in academic and other fields to Brown to engage and inspire the University community. Lecturers must be considered among the top achievers in a given field or profession. In light of the covid-19 pandemic, we will launch the series in a virtual format, looking forward to a future opportunity to bring visitors to campus to deliver programming in addition to a single lecture.

The Lemley Family Leadership Lecture Fund will support expenses, including honoraria.

To nominate one or more individuals to be considered to deliver a Lemley Leadership Lecture, please use this form and include the person’s name, title, and rationale for the nomination.  

Thank you.
