Helena Lecture

Richard Drake, Helena Lecture

Helena Lecture

More than 40 UM alumni and friends gathered at The University of Montana-Helena College of Technology last Wednesday to listen to an informative presentation by UM History Chairperson, Richard Drake, on Terrorism, Past and Present. This is the fifth UM faculty presentation in the Helena area – a tradition we hope to continue for years to come.

One alumna wrote our office to say that Dr. Drake’s lecture / Q&A session was “so fascinating that it seemed to last only 10 minutes.”  Indeed, at times his presentation seemed more like an engaging dialogue rather than a lecture.

The UM Office of Alumni Relations sends out a big thank you to Richard Drake for fitting us into his busy schedule and helping our office maintain ties to our former students.
