President's Lecture Series
The President’s Lecture Series, hosted by Carnegie Mellon President Farnam Jahanian, is designed to engage and inspire the Carnegie Mellon community on issues of emerging and preeminent relevance to society. The series, which is new for fall 2023, brings a curated list of thought leaders and world leaders to campus over the academic year.
An extension of the University Lecture Series, the series kicked off on Thursday, Sept. 28, with a distinguished lecture by Gen. Laura Richardson, the first female Commander of U.S. Southern Command. A fireside chat with Gen. Richardson and President Jahanian followed.
