AAC Peer Advising Faculty Dinners

Clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Robert Thompson will be the guest for the first AAC Peer Advising faculty dinner of the academic year Monday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 pm in the Academic Advising Center conference room. Dr. Thompson served as the dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences from 1999 to 2008 and played a major role in multiple initiatives to enhance undergraduate education, including efforts to facilitate undergraduates' involvement in mentored research. His recently published book titled "Beyond Reason and Tolerance: The Purpose and Practice of Higher Education" discusses the goals of higher education; the dinner will provide an opportunity for students to discuss ideas on what a Duke education should be about. The goal of AAC Peer Advising faculty dinners is to help students build mentor relationships with faculty members. Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about studying psychology or neuroscience or about anything else related to academic life at Duke. Space is very limited, and registration is required.
