The Rosenthal Lecture Series is designed to bring together meat industry representatives with the meat science academic group at Texas A&M University to hear presentations on current topics and to share information and form linkages.

This event is named in honor of E.M. "Manny" Rosenthal, Class of 1942, Distinguished Alumnus of Texas A&M University and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and Chairman Emeritus of Standard Meat Company. In 1987, Manny and his wife Roz donated the first endowed chair in the Department of Animal Science and the first chair in the United States designed to support research and education in meat science. Manny was a lifelong supporter of education at all levels. The Rosenthal Lecture Series is an outstanding way to provide a forum for the exchange of information and to honor a person who made so many contributions in all facets of his life.
