Since 1982, the Dillon Lecture Series has provided distinguished and notable speakers that many in Hutchinson, Kansas and surrounding communities might not have the opportunity to experience.  From poets, politicians and space scientists to American heroes, each is chosen by the Dillon Lecture Committee by following the teachings of Chinese philosopher Kuan-Tzam - “learning is the key to enlightenment”,  to educate and inspire audiences across a wide age span.

Tickets are available online (www.hutchcc.edu/dls) or at the Arena on the day of the lecture.  (Please note: Online tickets will not be available for purchase within 7 days of lecture)
