Gifts to Edward Westermann Distinguished Lecture Series contribute to...
Dr. Edward B. Westermann, Regents and Piper Professor of History Emeritus, maintained an unwavering commitment to teaching, service, and scholarship during his fifteen years at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. A specialist in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Nazi Germany, World War II, and Military Theory, he had a profound impact on thousands of A&M-San Antonio students.
Outside the classroom, he played pivotal roles in the university’s early administrative development, particularly during the era of downward expansion, and his contributions set us on a successful path of growth and excellence. With dozens of publications and countless research talks around the world, Westermann’s scholarly achievements in his areas of study are without parallel.
This endowed distinguished lecture series honors Professor Westermann’s invaluable contributions to A&M-San Antonio by providing future generations of students and faculty with annual opportunities for intellectual engagement with historians who will visit our campus to share their research and expertise.
