Leading Voices Leading Minds

Twenty-nine years ago, Southern Methodist University inaugurated the Willis M. Tate Distinguished Lecture Series. Since then leading minds from around the world have shared their unique perspectives with the people of Dallas. In addition to the evening lecture, there is a Student Forum designed to give students an opportunity to ask the speaker questions.

All Student Forums begin at 4:30 p.m. and are in the Lower Level of Hughes-Trigg. SMU students are eligible for free admission to Tate lectures. Student tickets are distributed with a valid SMU ID in the basement of McFarlin Auditorium beginning at 7 pm on the evening of the lecture. For more information, please visit smu.edu/tate or call (214) 768-8283.
