The Phelps Colloquium Series was initiated in April 2004 by former provost Chuck Phelps, and was eventually named in his honor by President Seligman upon Provost Phelps’ retirement in 2007. The series began as "Lunch with the Provost," with the simple goal of bringing together academic leaders from across the university in a relaxed setting to learn about interesting projects taking place at the institution, while also providing time for interaction with colleagues outside their normal spheres of contact. Provost Phelps's belief was that this mingling would engender more cross-school and cross-discipline collaborations. Although no official data exist on whether this outcome has been realized, there are several collaborative teams which credit the start of their work together to a conversation at a Phelps Colloquium. Speakers and topics presented in the series have been varied and fascinating. A complete history of the series from 2004-2009 is available at www.rochester.edu/provost/all_speakers.pdf
