Lyon & Bendheim Alumni Lecture Series

The Lyon & Bendheim Alumni Lecture Series at Tufts was established by J.B. Lyon (A'85), and Tom Bendheim, (A'85). Alumni lecturers are chosen because they are leaders who have repeatedly proven themselves with tremendous achievements at the highest levels in their respective fields. Tom Bendheim explained that, "Our goal for starting the lecture series was to bring prominent and successful alumni to campus to share their wisdom and experience with the students."
