Join us for a series of lectures and receptions this fall to highlight and celebrate the scholarship of three John and Patricia Cochran Scholar awardees. The Cochrans established these awards to help recruit, develop, retain and promote faculty members whose scholarship and service reflect excellence, creativity and a commitment to inclusiveness, and to support their successful academic career advancement.
