The Gebhardt Family Endowed Visitor Series for Political Science
The Gebhardt Family Endowed Visitor Series was established in 2021 with generous support from Guy Gebhardt '69.
The Gebhardt Visitor spends two days on the IWU campus meeting with students and faculty, speaking to classes, giving an all-campus lecture, and engaging in a public dialogue event centered around an interdisciplinary theme. The Gebhardt Visitor Series seeks to inspire students about the possibilities for careers in public service outside of elective office.
