The Eddie Koiki Mabo Lecture Series was established in 2004, in honour of [[Indigenous land rights in Australia|Indigenous land rights]] campaigner [[Eddie Mabo]], who was employed by the university as a groundsman from 1967 to 1971, and later enrolled as a student at the Townsville College of Advanced Education, which later amalgamated with JCU. Mabo famously spent ten years on the [[Mabo v Queensland (No 2)|Mabo case]], in which a landmark ruling that established the concept of [[native title in Australia]] was made in 1992. The lecture takes place on [[Mabo Day]], 3 June each year, with an address given by an invited speaker.
