and Curtis White | Curtis White (Professor of English) and Radheshyam Jayaswal (Professor of Biological Sciences) have been named the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 Arts and Sciences Lecturers. The Arts and Sciences Lecture Series was established by action of the Arts and Sciences Council in 1968 to honor faculty members whose scholarly contributions are particularly noteworthy and to provide a more general audience for faculty research that is too often known only to disciplinary colleagues. “I am eagerly anticipating both of these lectures next year,” said Dean Olson. “Both promise to be intellectually stimulating and entertaining and I congratulate Professors Jayaswal and White on receiving this prestigious honor.”
