Meeting Schedule

The Harrelson Committee meets approximately six times per year. Meetings are scheduled based on the availability of the committee members.

Committee Charge [Chancellor Caldwell's Memorandum dated July 18, 1961 describes the Harrelson Fund.]

  1. Advise the Provost on expenditures from the bequest of the late Chancellor Harrelson.
  2. Assist in implementation of approved projects, including selection of speakers, program events, etc.
  3. Annually select a prominent individual, distinguished in scholarship or public life, as the Harrelson Lecturer. The selection process shall be determined by the committee, with the expectation to publicly solicit suggestions and nominations from all segments of the University.
  4. Maintain written guidelines for sponsors of Harrelson Lecturers specifying budget limitations and procedures including payment of honoraria and other expenses, publicity, and visit arrangements (e.g., schedule of receptions, special luncheons, seminars and meetings with Committee members and University officials). The Committee should work closely with the sponsor to assure that the potential of the lectureship is fully realized.
  5. In concert with the Senior Vice Provost, manage the financial arrangements for the Harrelson Lecturer, making certain the honorarium check is presented before the lecturer leaves the campus and that all other proper expenses are paid promptly.
