Join us to meet Dr. Jeff Freeman, WVU Honors College alumnus and our special guest.

Dr. Freeman is a member of the Senior Professional Staff in the National Health Mission of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), which is the nation’s largest and longest-serving University Affiliated Research Center. In this role, Dr. Freeman serves in both management and technical positions as the Senior Scientist and Program Manager for the National Health Mission’s Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program. The mission of his program is to fundamentally transform the way the world prevents, detects and responds to health threats in all environments. Dr. Freeman also leads APL’s Disaster Response Corps, which enables APL staff and technologies to be leveraged in response to disasters and other critical events.

Learn more about women’s incarceration in West Virginia with a unique, interactive exhibit on display in Honors Hall through Friday, Oct. 30.

In “Women Beyond Bars: The story behind women’s incarceration in West Virginia,” students have the opportunity to explore the stories of three women, using QR codes to watch videos and hear these stories in the women's own words. Students interested in learning more can see more stories at the WVU Downtown Library, which is hosting an exhibition October through December 2020.
