HomeThe Kate Elder Lecture series was established in 1989 by the Department of Hispanic Studies by means of a generous endowment made by the parents and grandparents of Kate Elder, a student of the department who died tragically during her first year of study.
| The next Kate Elder Lecture will take place in November 2012. |
