Where: Eppley Science Hall. Lunch will be provided to the first 60 in attendance.
What: The Wilson Lecture is named for Charles Wilson, M.D., a former UNMC clinical professor and a former University of Nebraska Regent. Dr. Wilson has long encouraged health care professionals to learn humanities — his own story serving as an example. Dr. Wilson dropped his pre-med major to study art, literature, music and other humanities — much to the chagrin of his undergraduate counselor who said, “Mark my words, young man, you will never get into medical school.” Dr. Wilson received his M.D. from Northwestern University in 1964.
The lecture is sponsored by:
- The Charles S. and Linda W. Wilson Humanities in Medicine Program at UNMC;
- The Humanities Council;
- The Diversity Lectures and Cultural Arts Series; and
- The College of Public Health.
