Mellon Mays Regional Lecture Series

Each talk gives a Mellon PhD the opportunity to speak on their research or a current topic to a group of fellows and Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship mentors in a specific geographical region. A printed index of all attendees is also provided so that they might keep in touch with one another. The Lecture Series strengthens and sustains the Mellon Mays network and showcases the work of Mellon Fellows.

San Francisco: December 3, 2009, 6:00pm

One of the most important elements of the Mellon program is community. To that end, we are inviting Mellon Fellows in the San Francisco area to join us for our newest initiative, the Mellon Mays Lecture Series. The lecture series will allow us to learn from one another and build relationships by attending a presentation on the latest research by a Mellon PhD. A light reception will follow the lecture.

We welcome Elizabeth L. Donald, Mellon PhD, as our speaker. She is a Research and Development Scientist at the Clorox Services Company and an Adjunct Professor of Cultural and Physical Geography at Cañada College. The title of her talk is “Aesthetic, Pragmatic, Innovative: Academic Art and Science in Industry.”

Please join us on Thursday, December 3rd at 6 p.m. at the W Hotel SoMa located at 181 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103.

RSVP to Melissa Saldana required before November 22nd, 2009.
