Warren Distinguished Lecture Series

Banners that illustrate CEGE's mission and vision hang in the Charles Fairhurst Rotunda

The Warren Distinguished Lecture Series is made possible by a generous, renewing gift by Alice Warren Gaarden in 1961. Since 1989, we have been bringing in accomplished researchers and speakers from around the world to share their work with students, faculty, and friends of CEGE. Please join us for these lectures!

Join us in person in the George J. Schroepfer Conference Theater, 210 Civil Engineering Building, Fridays at 10:10 a.m., unless otherwise noted. Coffee and refreshments served.
Join us via Zoom. Registration is required. Link information will be sent when you register.
Recordings are available on the CEGE YouTube channel, Warren Lecture Series playlist , where you can also search past lectures.

Upcoming Events

We wrap up the spring season on April 26 with the Robert Dexter Lecture with Dimitrios Lignos, Resilient Steel Structures Laboratory, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne (Switzerland). The series will resume after a summer break.
