In Fall 2007 the Rome Center Faculty Lecture Series was inaugurated. Each faculty member coming to the RC is invited to give a talk as part of the series. This lecture series has proven to be an engaging program of informal talks. We extend invitations to Lecture Series to all programs in residence, and also to the greater academic community of Rome. These appointments provide both a way for UW groups to share areas of expertise with one another and also a way or us to share the expertise of our extraordinary faculty with our colleagues in Rome. Guest lecturers ("Director's Guests") are occasionally featured.
