The Everhart Lecture Series is a forum to encourage interdisciplinary interaction among graduate students and faculty, to share ideas about recent research developments, problems and controversies, and to recognize exemplary presentation and research abilities. Lecturers discuss scientific topics at a level suitable for graduate students and faculty from all fields while addressing current research issues.

Each fall, three graduate student Everhart lecturers are selected to present their work to the Caltech community. Speakers receive a $500 honorarium and recognition at graduation.
