About the Stone Lecture Series

The Elizabeth W. Stone Lecture series is held each spring and the speakers are invited by the Alumni Association. Previous speakers have included esteemed librarians, university presidents, journalists, members of professional associations and government representatives.

The 13th Annual Elizabeth W. Stone Lecture included a special rememberance of Dr. Stone, who passed away on March 6, 2002, at the age of 83. Her presence throughout the years has given the school a sense of continuity, connecting students with the larger CUA SLIS community of alumni. This lecture series strives to bring innovators in the library profession to CUA that demonstrate Dr. Stone's commitment to the life-long development of librarians. To continue Dr. Stone's legacy, donations will be accepted for the Elizabeth W. Stone Scholarship Fund. Please call (202) 319-6926 for further information.
