VERNON LARSON LUNCHEON LECTURES

This lecture series was begun in 1979 by Dr. Vernon C. Larson, then Director of International Agricultural Programs, and is the longest-running at K-State. With eight presentations per year, held once a month during the fall and spring semesters, the series offers an opportunity for the K-State community to hear presentations from faculty and individuals who have recently participated in an extensive overseas activity or who are involved in major international activities. The luncheon is open to interested faculty, students, and community members.
