Tóm tắt
A well-coordinated seminar series centered on popular and current topics presented by dynamic, enthusiastic speakers can provide an important programmatic highlight on campus. Over 6 years we have produced 11 lecture series with over 40 individual talks at a moderate-sized community college and small selective liberal arts college. These experiences have provided us with insight as to successful strategies for running well-attended lecture series for the entire campus. The focus of specific talks or series themes should be on topics that have broad appeal and deal with contemporary or regional issues. We include talks that link science to human culture, public policy, politics, economics, or mainstream topics or disciplines. To keep a wide audience engaged, we remind the speakers that they need to communicate their message to a general audience, and it is crucial that talks are not too technical. Positive attention from a well-run, high profile, well-attended public lecture series may bring unexpected rewards to your program.
