The series is made possible through a generous gift by the late Carnegie Mellon alumnus\, Russell Cameron and is named to honor Robert Lepper\, a highly regarded former member of the Carnegie Mellon School of Art faculty. \n  \nSchool of Art Lecture Series\nThe Carnegie Mellon School of Art Lecture Series is made possible in part by Elizabeth (Thompson) and Thomas M. Cox (A’29) Distinguished Artists Funds\, Robert L. Lepper Distinguished Lecture in Creative Inquiry\, and Orville M. Winsand Lecture for Critical Studies. Carnegie Mellon makes every effort to provide accessible facilities and programs for individuals with disabilities. This publication can be made available in an alternate format upon request.
