Warren
Lecture Series - Winter 2008
The Warren Lecture Series brings accomplished scholars from around the world to the Department of Civil Engineering to share their research with students and faculty. The series is made possible by a generous, renewing gift given by Alice Warren Gaarden in 1961.
All lectures are held Fridays from 3:30 to 4:35 p.m. in Room 210 of the
Civil Engineering Building.
