2026 UAH Distinguished Lecture Series

The UAH Distinguished Lecture Series was conceived to enhance community collaboration among The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Redstone Arsenal agencies and corporations in Cummings Research Park. We aim to raise awareness and acquire a better understanding of current events and future trends, and how these activities could be positively influenced through knowledge and actions among the region's government, corporate and academic partners.
