Distinguished Lecture Series

Fall 2022 Distinguished Lecture

The best-selling author of The Monuments Men will be at UT Permian Basin for a free community lecture! Robert M. Edsel is the speaker for the fall Distinguished Lecture Series.

The Monuments Men is the dramatic true story of a small group of unlikely heroes and their race against time to save the world’s most treasured art and cultural treasures from the destruction of WWII and theft by the Nazis. The book, and award-winning movie based off it, have led Edsel to be an international thought leader and renowned advocate of protecting cultural works and restoring fine art to its rightful owners.

Edsel is a dynamic and engaging speaker who is sure to inspire the Permian Basin community with his lecture.

The speaker series is a hallmark program of the University’s Shepperd Leadership Institute.

We hope you will join us!
