The Office of the President continues to sharpen the focus of the Fall Speaker Series for the upcoming academic year. Departments can submit the names of any contracted speakers that will appeal to a wide audience.

The Speaker Series allows for joint promotion of speakers only. The speaker must have campus-wide interest, and the talk must be open to the public.

The Office of the President will be providing funding for up to 75 individual posters for each speaker. The poster will need to be designed using the standard speaker series format and printed with University Marketing and Communications. A comprehensive poster will not be printed this year. The speakers, along with bios, high-resolution pictures, lecture dates, and times, will be publicized on the speaker series website and individual media releases will be sent out.

Please complete the online form with the following information: speaker name, date of keynote, biography of keynote, high-resolution photo, and event location. The online form can be found on the speaker series website.

Just a quick reminder: University Events is available to help facilitate events surrounding the speaker visit.

Those with questions or concerns can contact Julie Barnhill at (309) 438-8790, or jtbarnh@ilstu.edu.
