Albert Gallatin Lecture Series
About the Series
In keeping with its academic mission, which is firmly rooted in the idea that knowledge and understanding grow through conversation and collaboration, the Gallatin School is pleased to present the Albert Gallatin Lectures at NYU. The series, which had its inaugural presentation in the spring of 2006, brings a variety of notable figures from the worlds of politics, the arts, business, and academia to the University to discuss contemporary issues with students, faculty, alumni, and members of the wider community.
The Lectures are made possible through the support of an anonymous donor. As former Interim Dean Ali Mirsepassi noted at the inaugural Lecture, “We strongly encourage dialogue and inquiry in all of our courses and through our faculty advising system, but the lecture series will give us an opportunity to extend our intellectual conversations to the larger Gallatin and NYU communities. I am so thankful that we received such a generous donation to launch this endeavor.”
