Named in honor of Hubert McNeill Poteat, who taught at Wake Forest University from 1911 to 1956 and was widely known and respected as a Latin scholar, this lecture series is designed to recognize and celebrate the many achievements of our faculty in research, scholarly, and creative work.

The annual lectures are held each spring and are sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the College and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
