Where seekers and learners alike ...

The University of Montana-Missoula has a long history of enriching its educational community by bringing some of the nation’s finest minds to campus as visiting scholars and lecturers. Through the popular President’s Lecture Series, for example, campus and local communities are treated to the expert knowledge of world-renowned speakers, who represent a host of disciplines and discuss important issues of the day. In addition, the law school’s Jones-Tamm Lecture Series brings U.S. Supreme Court justices to campus each year to discuss current topics. And with the Lewis and Clark bicentennial coming in 2004, UM is establishing itself as the nation’s premier source of information about the Corps of Discovery. Two famous Lewis and Clark scholars spent fall semester at UM teaching, lecturing and working with K-12 educators. They were hosted by the NASA-funded Earth Observing System Education Project, which uses information gleaned from satellites to study today’s Lewis and Clark Trail.
