The Milton S. Carothers Faculty Lecture Series is the longest running, regularly occurring, interdisciplinary lecture series at Florida State University. The purpose of the series is to promote the research and creative activities of FSU's faculty in an interdisciplinary environment that translates those activities across boundaries to a broad audience with an eye toward bridging academic disciplines, facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations, and promoting faculty research, on and off campus.

All lectures are free and open to the public.  Lectures take place in the Bradley Reading Room at FSU's Strozier Library. All are welcome! You may bring your own lunch, or pre-register for lunch provided courtesy of FSU's Office of Research. RSVPs are required for the provided lunch.
