2004 Lehigh Valley Campus Science Lecture Series
The intent of the Science Lecture Series is to promote the awareness of current research in science and technology among the student body at the Perm State Lehigh Valley campus by inviting distinguished guest speakers to share their knowledge, research agenda and the excitement with our numerous and growing student population majoring in the core fields of science.
Additionally, the guest speakers, to be selected from various science backgrounds, will be asked to present in a layman's style so as to benefit all of the students on our campus; non-science students will be able to appreciate and understand the underlying principles of the latest technologies in science.
Following their presentation, selected students will be invited to dine with the guest speaker to create a more casual intimate setting to further the interactions between the speaker and the students. We believe such events will enrich student life and encourage their involvement in learning about science beyond the typical classroom experience.
This series is funded by the Student Activity Committee at the Lehigh Valley Campus, and receives partial support from the Associate Dean's office and Science Division as well.
Tai-Yin Huang and Jacqueline McLaughlin would also like to thank the Science Faculty members at the Lehigh Valley Campus for their efforts and support.
