Each semester, EERI@UND brings in a speaker through EERI. In addition, the University of Notre Dame also hosted a series of lectures in the fall of 2001 called the Linbeck Distiguished Lecture Series. Finally, the Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences also supports visiting lecturers.
Here are some of the EERI speakers with a brief biography* and description of their talk (click on name):
