The Kenneth Hammond Lecture Series

The annual Hammond Lecture Series is sponsored by U of G and the School of Environmental Sciences (SES). This lecture series began in 2000 and is named for the late Kenneth Hammond, founder of Hammond Manufacturing and former member of U of G's Board of Governors. He was an advocate of environmental and resource issues and environmental education.  The Hammond Lecture themes touches on issues studied by numerous U of G faculty. These topics promote interdisciplinary learning, teaching and research that span all of our colleges on campus. The Hammond Lectures have been a showcase for communicating environmental science and policy. They are an opportunity for providing feedback from the community to the University and an event that brings students, staff, faculty and the community together.
