Auburn University Honors Congress

Congress,

Today we will host the Honors College Convocation at 4 p.m. in SC 2222/2223.

Lewis Barker, retired professor in psychology professor and last year’s honor’s faculty of the year, will be featured at the 2018 Honors Convocation. In addition to discussing his involvement with the Honor’s College, Barker will be introducing the new neuroscience program that will begin to be offered in fall 2018.

Barker will make some opening remarks about his involvement in the early history of Neuroscience research and some observations on education and life success. The title of his talk is “Observations on 57 years of academic life: Studying, teaching, and researching Psychology and Neuroscience.”

Also, Barker will introduce Jeff Katz from the psychology department and after his talk, have him introduce other neuroscience faculty to talk briefly about their research and opportunities for Honors undergraduates in research.

The event is welcome to the public. It will be held in Student Center Room 2222/2223 on Wednesday, April 11 from 4 to 5 p.m.

If you have questions, let us know. We hope to see you there!
