The John J. Horan Endowed Lecture Series

The John J. Horan Endowed Lecture Series is named in honor of the former chairman and chief executive officer of Merck & Company, Inc. and alumnus of the University, John J. Horan ’40.

The Endowment was established through a generous gift from Merck & Company, Inc. to encourage faculty development through enhanced faculty involvement in research and to promote a dinner/seminar series. The lectures address topics in business, science, engineering and education from the perspective of industry and professional education. The seminar seeks to inform, update and expand personal and professional development of Manhattan’s faculty by bringing small groups of educators together with leaders of American business, scientific, engineering and educational communities.
