The annual Rosel Schewel Lecture in Education and Human Diversity is made possible by an endowment established by the late Elliot Schewel in honor of his late wife, Rosel. Rosel, a faculty member in the School of Education and Human Development from 1973 to 1992, served as a mentor, facilitator, and community leader. The purpose of the event, which is open to the campus and greater Lynchburg communities, is to help educate citizens and focus discussion on a topic that is important to all Americans.
The lecture program began in 1990 and presenters have included Jonathan Kozol, Alex Kotlowitz, Cornell West, J. David Smith, Ron Clark, and Beverly Tatum.
