*************

The Nunan Lecture & Research Day is made possible by a gift from the estate of Jim and Marge Nunan in 2006. The day includes a technical lecture by a distinguished speaker and a showcase of graduate student research from all departments and disciplines throughout the college. The Nunans’ gift also enabled the college to create the Nunan Graduate Travel Fund, which financially assists doctoral students who wish to present their work at conferences.
