“Doug Chalmers developed and began to put into place a vision for emeriti to continue their research, teaching, and university service during their retirement years. The graduate talks were part of that vision. EPIC named the series in his honor because Doug himself personified the active engaged retiree, teaching Contemporary Civilization at Columbia and publishing books well into his eighties.”

—Frank Wolf, Vice President, EPIC
