The Dale E. Sayers Lecture Series

Dale Sayers joined the NC State University Physics Department faculty in 1976, where he initiated a broad research program and collaborated with colleagues to study numerous far-reaching topics. Throughout his professional life, Professor Sayers' intellect and curiosity benefited a host of scientific colleagues. His personal integrity, humor and comfortable communicative style permeated his life from teaching college freshmen to heading world-renowned research teams until his untimely passing in 2004.

This first Sayers Lecture marks the start of an annual series that honors both his memory and his many contributions to NC State University and the scientific community.
