Every fall and spring semester, scholars and professionals from various fields of study are invited to give insightful lectures that pertain to Korean culture and influence. Known as the Brown Bag Lunch Series or the Korea Lunch Dialogue Series, this recurring event is intended to offer awareness of studies relevant to South Korea with an open question and answer session about the subject matter to follow the speaker's lecture. These events are free and open to the public, and lunch will be provided for guests in attendance.
