The Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series is dedicated to fostering discussions on social, ecological, and political concerns by inviting influential speakers to the UVM campus and the Burlington community.

In the spirit of activism, the series highlights critical issues affecting communities, such as the plight of immigrant farmworkers in Vermont. The upcoming event will feature speakers from Migrant Justice, an organization committed to supporting the rights and conditions of these workers, marking two decades since Miller's passing.
