The Fletcher Lecture Series, named after former department head Marie Fletcher, brings outstanding scholars and writers to Nicholls each fall.

The scholar or creative writer typically performs both a morning and evening lecture. A monograph of each lecture has been published each year since 1998, and a yearly conference connected to the event began in 2006.

Past lecturers have included:

  • Robert Penn Warren
  • Ernest Gaines
  • Maxine Hong Kingston
  • Henry Louis Gates
