Eddy Lecture Series
Background on Eddy Lecture
The John Kennard Eddy Memorial Lecture on World Politics is a living memorial to a former student. Along with two of his classmates and friends, John Kennard “Jeff” Eddy was killed by a reckless driver while attending a Russian Studies Seminar at Oberlin College on September 23, 1988. At the time of their very premature deaths, Jeff and his colleagues (Bill Kroener and Jay Riesz) were juniors majoring in politics and government at Ohio Wesleyan. The Eddy family has chosen this very valuable and important method of keeping Jeff's flame alive across the generations of Ohio Wesleyan students. Co-sponsored by International Studies Program and the Department of Politics and Government.
