The College of Education hosts several events throughout the academic year to create a dialogue between students and administrators, discuss education-related issues, share research and celebrate the achievements of its students, faculty, staff and alumni.
Honors Day

Benjamin E. Mays Lecture
The annual Benjamin E. Mays Memorial Lecture Series, which began in 1989, is intended to encourage the discussion of issues facing urban educational leaders through a series of symposia, conferences and lectures. This program not only honors the memory of Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, but also promotes his philosophy of excellence in the education of those typically least well served by the larger society. To find out more about the Mays Lecture and the Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence, which co-hosts the event, click here.
Research Wednesdays Speaker Series
The Research Wednesdays Speaker Series is designed to fulfill three goals: to provide a platform for explorations of new ways of conducting and disseminating educational research, to discuss new methods of mentoring doctoral students in an effort to enhance their development as researchers, and to fill a professional development need by providing access to cutting edge researchers at the state and national levels.
