The Distinguished Visiting Professor Colloquium Series is a Universitywide program that brings prominent speakers throughout the academic year to Marymount's campus.
The primary goal of the Series is to enrich the intellectual life of the academic community. The program provides opportunities for Marymount faculty and students to interact with individuals who have significant influence in a wide array of fields.
Distinguished Visiting Professors offer first-hand insights into the worlds of finance, technology, government, health care, the media, and more. Their presentations enable the members of Marymount's academic community to become more attuned to the challenges and opportunities prevalent in diverse areas of endeavor. Through the Series, the University's faculty and students engage in substantive dialogue with leaders who shape and influence our world.
