Wisconsin Union Directorate Distinguished Lecture Series Committee

Since 1987, Wisconsin Union Directorate Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) has contributed to broadening the educational experience of UW–Madison students and the community by bringing the smartest, most engaging, and influential people to campus, to encourage thought-provoking conversations and ideas. The Distinguished Lecture Series Committee (DLS) is charged with a mission to present a diverse range of viewpoints from highly respected, prominent people who will both stimulate discussion and challenge current ideals and values. Through DLS-sponsored lectures and collaborations, we strive to achieve our mission of seeking and spreading powerful ideas, while also allowing the passionate and dedicated students on our committee to be exposed to a diverse and vibrant array of people, backgrounds, and ideas.
