Thursday Morning Lecture Series
We offer a series of
lectures that provide
an in-depth look at specific areas, presented in the form of five or
six
lectures covering different aspects of those areas.

subject
presented by a recognized authority. These distinguished Lecturers may
be drawn from areas outside the University of Michigan, wherever they
may
be found, in business, politics, or academia.
