The Roy H. Park Distinguished Lecture Series began in October 1999. Sponsored by the Triad Foundation of Ithaca, N.Y., the lectures enhance the Roy H. Park Fellowship Program that began in the school in fall 1997. The fellowships go to new doctoral and master's students in the school each year.
The lecture series brings outstanding professionals to the campus each year with the goal of enriching the educational experience of undergraduate and graduate students, and presenting speakers of interest to the campus and beyond.
The lecture series honors Roy H. Park, the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Park Communications Inc., which became an expansive multimedia company with broadcast and print properties throughout the U.S.
