Lloyd Minor, MD, dean of the School of Medicine, has established the Dean’s Lecture Series to bring leading innovators from a variety of fields to Stanford.
Initially, the series will focus on diversity, kicking off Jan. 23 with a presentation by Rosalind Hudnell, the chief diversity officer at Intel Corp. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
“We all benefit from the transformative power of diversity,” Minor said. “It is an integral part of what it means to lead the biomedical revolution and a core value of the Stanford Medicine community.”
Minor said he launched the lecture series to unite students, faculty and staff and to spark dialogue on issues of importance. “This lecture series will support Stanford Medicine’s culture of learning, as well as fuel personal and professional growth,” he said.
The following lectures have been scheduled:
- Jan. 23: Hudnell, chief diversity officer and global director of education and external relations at Intel.
- Feb. 20: Vivek Wadhwa, fellow at the Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford.
- May 1: Ruth Simmons, president emerita of Brown University.
All lectures will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in Berg Hall at the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge.
