Distinguished Faculty Lectures


 

Each November the GTU faculty honors a distinguished professor who embodies the scholarly standards, teaching excellence, and commitment to ecumenism that define the GTU. Nominations are considered by the Council of Deans, who then select the next year’s Distinguished Faculty Lecturer.

The GTU Dean's Office, in collaboration with the GTU Bookstore, sponsors an annual publication fair in conjunction with the lecture. The fair displays and celebrates the current publications of faculty members. It is an excellent place to meet faculty who are on the cutting edge of theological scholarship, and to get to know them in an informal atmosphere.

Selected audio and/or video recordings and other files for these events can be accessed through the GTU Archives in the Hewlett Library.
