Lamar lecture series features former Bulls player

As part of Lamar University's Academic Lecture Series, Bob Love, former Chicago Bulls three-time NBA All-Star, will present a lecture on his motivational life story at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, in the University Theatre.

"The Academic Lecture Series, sponsored by the students of Lamar, gives the opportunity to bring people of national stature and particular academic interest to the campus to bring knowledge and insight to our community," said Russ Schultz, dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication.

"Mr. Love's talk will present his experiences to overcome the challenge of stuttering to become a national spokesperson. This is an area of particular interest to the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, which is part of our college, because they study this challenge in both children and adults. Mr. Love brings us a success story that very well may help others."
