The Heinz Distinguished Lectureship was established through a gift from the Heinz Endowments and is sponsored by the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation. The lectureship is open to the community and aims to bring to the University innovative, thought-provoking, and forward-looking concepts appropriate for sustainable infrastructure development.
