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. Haris Alibašić with the Department of Business Administration and Dr. James Mead with the Department of Commerce both in the Lewis Bear Jr. College of Business will present their lecture presentations on Friday, February 19, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Argonaut Athletic Club (Building 54). Dr. Alibašić’s lecture title is "Reflections on Resilience: Writing, Music, and Gratitude." Dr. Mead's lecture title is "Did I Really Make It So? Solving for Attribution and Saying Thanks."
