Dr. Arthur Grayson Distinguished Lecture Series
The Dr. Arthur Grayson Distinguished Lecture Series was established by the Southern Illinois University School of Law in 1997 through the generous support of the Garwin Family Foundation. Created in 1993 to foster educational and academic research, the Garwin Family Foundation provides funding for the Grayson lecture series, the Garwin Distinguished Professor of Law and Medicine, and the Center for Health Law and Policy to advance the School’s health law program. The Grayson lecture series honors Dr. Arthur Grayson, who was until his death in 1990, a Los Angeles surgeon, philanthropist, world traveler, collector of cultural artifacts, classical and flamenco guitarist, marathon runner, and brother-in-law of Garwin Family Foundation founder Dr. Leo Garwin. Focusing on the disciplines of law and medicine, the lecture series encourages leadership and creative involvement by the legal community to address the many challenges facing our nation’s health care system.
