We host five endowed lectures throughout the academic year. Endowed lectures are paid for with private funds invested and held by the Regents of the University.

The Daniel I. Arnon Lecture was established with resources from the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. The endowment also supports graduate students who are designated Arnon Fellows.

The Bob B. Buchanan and Harry Tsujimoto Lectures were established with a generous gift from the K/T (Kase/Tsujimoto) Foundation of San Francisco. The endowment also supports graduate students who are designated "Kase Fellows".

The Taylor-White Lecture is a unique collaboration between Tom White, an entrepreneur, and John Taylor, a professor in the department. Together they performed research and published papers.

The Kustu Lecture is supported by donations from students, faculty and staff who worked with Sydney Kustu, a professor in the department.
