Ida Beam Visiting Lecturers for 2000-2001 announced

The slate of Ida Cordelia Beam Distinguished Visiting Professors has been determined for 2000-2001. Visiting professors are nominated by departments and programs. Recipients are chosen on a competitive basis by the Office of the Provost.

Ida Cordelia Beam, a native of Vinton, willed her farm to the University in 1977. With the proceeds from the sale of the farm the University established a fund to bring scholars in a variety of disciplines to the University for lectures and discussions during residencies ranging from several days to a month, and more rarely, a semester. The Ida Cordelia Beam Visiting Professorships are a source of intellectual stimulation for students and faculty, and provide an opportunity to bring new perspectives in knowledge and teaching to the University.
