TMCC’s Dianne Dodd Cheseldine Distinguished Speakers Series began in 2000 when Dianne Cheseldine, a TMCC Professor Emerita of Foreign Languages, extended an invitation to historian Malcolm Miller to speak at TMCC. Miller’s presentation on the famous Chartres Cathedral was followed by presentations by Swami Prapannananda from the Vedanta Society of Sacramento and later, Camille Cellucci, the Visual Effects Producer for the film Titanic.
In 2020, the series celebrated 20 years of offering opportunities for students, faculty and community members to hear exceptional individuals share their knowledge and experiences from around the world.
If you are interested in supporting future DSS speakers, please consider making a contribution to the TMCC Foundation endowment, Seeds for Peace and Understanding, founded by Gamal Eldin. In addition, you may consider a gift in Cheseldine’s honor to the annual student scholarship, the Cheseldine Spanish Scholarship Endowment.
