The Billie Grace Goodrich Distinguished Lecture Series was funded by Mr. Henry C. Goodrich and his wife, Billie Grace Goodrich. These lectures are intended to contribute to the intellectual life of the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences and to provide the public with new and provocative ideas, stimulating thought and possible solutions to educational problems in the United States.

The Bogue Lecture Series was funded by former Interim UT-Chattanooga Vice Chancellor and ELPS professor Gray Bogue who passed away in 2013. These lectures offer the opportunity for faculty, staff, and students have the opportunity to learn from a scholar within the field of higher education about diversity, inclusion, and equity, particularly as these themes relate to educational policy and practice.
