The spring semester of 1986 marked the beginning of a series of off-campus educational programs sponsored by the University of Notre Dame Alumni Association in alumni club locations across the country. In recognition of Father Theodore Hesburgh's personal example as a lifelong learner, and as an expression of the great affection and respect he has earned from Notre Dame alumni, the Alumni Association National Board of Directors voted unanimously to title this new series the Hesburgh Alumni Lectures.

The Hesburgh Lecture Series brings the Notre Dame campus to its alumni and communities. The program strives to encourage intellectual dialogue between alumni, community members and the distinguished faculty of Notre Dame. Lecture/discussion programs address issues reflective of the unique strengths of the University: leadership in family life, church issues, ethical concerns, social problems, political questions, spiritual life, and the liberal arts. These lectures revitalize the intellectual spirit both of the graduate and the family.
