UCR welcomes former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins
as the second of three speakers in the
2006 Chancellor's Distinguished Lecture Series.
Sponsored by the Office of the Chancellor, the distinguished lecture series was conceived to stimulate the region’s intellectual community, to inspire students to think beyond the lecture hall and lab, and to involve members of the community in the academic life of the UCR campus. The theme this year is, "Beyond Boundaries: Explorations and Experimentation in Science, Art, and Statecraft.”
