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. Kathrine Johnson with the Department of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies in the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities and Dr. Cheng Zhang with the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering and will present their lecture presentations on Friday, October 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Argonaut Athletic Club (Building 54). Dr. Johnson’s lecture title is "The Scenic Route by Choice: Wisdom from a 20-Year Journey to Full Professor." Dr. Zhang's lecture title is "An Ongoing Journey of Learning."
