The Jooinn Lee Lecture Series honors Jooinn Lee, professor emeritus of political science and former Chair of the Division of the Social Sciences. Created on the occasion of Lee’s retirement in 2007, the endowed lecture series showcases the political science discipline and cutting-edge scholarship by bringing to campus distinguished alumni, scholars, and prominent practitioners representing the field of politics. 2009 marked the inaugural program of the Lee Lecture. The Jooinn Lee Lecture Series is made possible through charitable gifts to the University of Minnesota Morris.
