Lectures like this are important for students to have the chance to go to because it allows them to experience information that may not be a part of their normal education. Colleges holding special lectures open to both staff and students is a very basic best practice and is not often done at the community college level at most schools. Universities and 4 year colleges are best know for doing lecture series.
