Annual Richard Cole Symposium

Richard L. Cole’s sincere appreciation for service to others was exemplified in his teaching philosophy, generous mentoring, compassion, and dedication to helping junior faculty and students succeed. Dr. Cole was a much-loved teacher, as demonstrated by the many students who have pledged to be founding donors for his Memorial Fellowship.

The annual Richard L. Cole Memorial Lecture will include a dynamic symposium in honor of his life. Our topic this year is Social Equity as a key pillar in the study and practice of public administration. You are welcome to participate in the symposium, the memorial lecture, or both.

Guest speaker is Jada Berry-James. Dr. Berry-James is an elected Fellow of the congressionally chartered National Academy of Public Administration and Vice Chair of the Standing Panel of Social Equity in Governance.

Both a detailed itinerary and a RSVP link are available through the Event Website link.
