The Rocco and Gloria Barbieri Lecture Series and Faculty Fellowship was endowed in 1993 by Rocco Barbieri '59.  It provides for a year of post-doctoral growth for a talented scholar.  The lecture series features the research of senior Ennis and Gallen fellows.  The lecture series is important because it allows our faculty to network with faculty in other departments.
