Each year an outstanding senior researcher in probability or statistics is invited to serve as the Eugene Lukacs Distinguished Visiting Professor{{Cite web |url=http://bayes.bgsu.edu/lukacs/lukacs_profs.html |title=Lukacs Distinguished Professors |access-date=2011-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812062403/http://bayes.bgsu.edu/lukacs/lukacs_profs.html |archive-date=2011-08-12 |url-status=dead }} during the academic year or a semester. The Lukacs Professors are invited based on their distinguished record of research in the application or theory of probability or statistics. The Lukacs professor typically collaborates with current faculty on research, participates in seminars and colloquia, and typically gives a graduate course or presents a series of related seminars. Lukacs Professors have organized Lukacs Symposia[http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/math/faculty/page53999.html Distinguished Visiting Faculty] on a variety of topics in probability and statistics.
