Files relating to the public and private events at which Chancellor Lovell spoke or otherwise presided. These files usually contain a brief summary of the events in question, the speeches given by the Chancellor at the event, and copies of any presentation made. Most of these files pertain to routine events, such as the annual faculty/staff awards ceremony, presentations to the Faculty Senate and the UW Board of Regents, background information on Santiago's WUWM appearances, and the Winter and Spring commencement addresses.

In addition to routine events, Santiago also spoke at or prepared background information for a number of one-time or irregularly-occurring events of potential interest to researchers, including:

• Prominent speakers at UWM, including Eli Bornstein, Milton Coleman, Dennis Ross, and Former Nigerian President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
• Special events on or near campus, such as the UWM representation at the Wisconsin State Fair, UWM Night at Miller Park and at Milwaukee Bucks games, retirement ceremonies for a number of long-time UWM employees, and dedication of various new campus facilities.
