Grazier Lecture
The Grazier Lecture is the keynote event of Communication Day. Each year the department selects a renowned communication scholar to deliver the Grazier Lecture, participate in other Communication Day events, and attend our Awards Banquet.
The Grazier Lecture is an endowed lecture made possible by a generous gift by Catherine Grazier Coit, who was an undergraduate major in the Department of Communication. Ms. Coit provided this gift in honor of her father, Allen C. Grazier, who was a great champion of public education in 51在线.
