Nov. 19, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Dr. Michael V. Leggiere is the Deputy Director of the Military History Center at the Universsity of North Texas, which seeks to be the premier destination in the United States for the study of Military History. THE IMPORTANCE OF MILITARY HISTORY Since the Vietnam War, opportunities for American students to study military history in a serious way have receded owing to a general rejection of war studies at the university level. Military history -- the driver of world politics -- has either been removed from curricula, or diluted to an almost unrecognizable form. The opposite trend is underway at UNT. UNT's commitment to the research, teaching and public presentation of military history has made our Military History Center an international leader in the field. Join Zoom Meeting |

"Building better humans"
Dec. 10, 2020 12:00 p.m.
William K. Sampson From a conversation I had with my dad on a road trip in the middle of the night a spark for personal development was born. Dad shared with me that he and my Grandad had had a terrible relationship. My dad shared that by the time he’d developed enough emotional intelligence to understand that he was part of the problem, grandad was gone. He was never able to work on that relationship. He committed to me that he wanted to change the cycle with my brother and I. I’d love to say that the change was immediate and dramatic but, it was not. It has been an ongoing process that is still ongoing. Allow me to come along beside you as a fellow traveler and change the reality for your next generation. Join Zoom Meeting |

Human Rights Movement in China
Apr. 15, 2021 12:00 p.m.
Dr. Chen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being victims of the horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she was 16. Hence, she was accepted into a top university for undergraduate study. In 1994, Wen came to the U.S. for graduate school and received a Ph.D. in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to be a voice for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given over 300 presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and human rights. Wen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a biologist and information scientist on genomics and biological research. Part of her everyday work is scientific outreach by speaking at conferences and seminars in universities like UC San Diego and Harvard Medical School. In her personal life, she is an active member of Amnesty International, a board member for Caltech Women in Biology and Biological Engineering, and a special event host for the Caltech Alumni Association. She lives in Pasadena with her husband and two teenage daughters. Meeting ID: 823 0445 4818 |
