Featured Events

Lectures: The Gerald R. Ford Institute sponsors three to four lectures each semester covering a variety of current political and policy issues. We often join with other Institutes and departments on campus to provide interdisciplinary speaker topics which are open to the public and free of charge. Each Ford member is required to attend at least two lectures per semester, and has the option to attend a small, pre-lecture dinner with our featured speaker. The lists below also include other campus lectures that fit the mission of the Ford Institute.

Director's Luncheons: Several times per semester, the Ford Institute hosts casual lunch talks from noon to 1:00 given by local VIPs, alums, and college professors on current topics of interest. We provide pizza for a small group of students to interact with our guest, ask questions, and explore careers and ideas. Attendance is completely based on student interest.
