The speaker series called The Presidential Speaker Series consists of presentations held throughout the academic year that bring highly regarded and compelling professionals from various fields to the Lasell College campus to help enrich our community.

These events are open to the entirety of the Lasell community including our Newton neighbors, alumni, friends, faculty and staff. The events are free of charge and are generally held on Wednesday nights. The evening includes pre-presentation refreshments and hors d’oeuvres as well as a Q&A session with the presenter.
