About the Founders Day Lecture

Founders Day was established in 1979 to commemorate the founding of the college, which opened its doors on November 17, 1967. It is also an opportunity to recognize and honor COM-T faculty for their scientific accomplishments. 

Each year, faculty members select a peer whose research has a continuous thread of significance and who can effectively present that research with enthusiasm, vigor and inspiration.

The 2023 honoree is Katalin Gothard, MD, PhD, professor of physiology, neurology, and neuroscience. Dr. Gothard will present “A journey to the center of the emotional brain.”

Complimentary lunch reception starts at 11:30 a.m.
Program starts at noon and ends at 1 p.m.
Registration is required.
