The Rite of Passage lecture series event celebrates UWF faculty recently promoted to full professor. This series commemorates the work of top academics in achieving the highest level in higher education teaching and scholarship — the coveted full professorship. The lecture series gives the professor the opportunity to share with colleagues, students, friends and community members life lessons outside the classroom.

Dr. Melinda Lewis with the Department of Social Work in the Usha Kundu, MD College of Health will present her lecture presentation on Friday, November 7, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Argonaut Athletic Club (Building 54). Dr. Lewis' lecture title is "Retracing the Underground Railroad Experience: A High Impact Learning Journey."
