Events Overview

CHAE hosts a series of regular and special events throughout the academic year. Some of our hallmark events include the following: 

The Raines Colloquium fosters intellectual, professional and personal growth and collegiality among the students, faculty, and alumni of the Department of Educational Administration, College of Education at Michigan State.  Each academic year, the Raines Colloquium hosts distinguished scholars and practitioners within student affairs, adult education, and higher education for a series of lectures and discussions with students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

The Ewigleben Lecture Series, endowed by alumnus and former president of Ferris State University Robert Ewigleben, is bi-annually presented by the Higher, Adult and Lifelong Education program along with the Center for Higher and Adult Education in the Department of Educational Administration. The lecture brings a prominent state, national, or international policy leader to campus to share their perspectives on significant issues and trends on the higher education forefront.

The Graduate Research Colloquium is a student-led opportunity for students in HALE's two master's and two doctoral programs to present original scholarship to the MSU community. The Colloquium is held every year in the spring and led by a graduate student committee.
