National Public Radio Journalist Michel Martin to speak April 1, 2015 at U-M
Michel Martin, journalist and NPR correspondent, will deliver the 2015 U-M Center for the Education of Women Mullin Welch Lecture on April 1, 2015 at the Kahn Auditorium, Biomedical Science Research Bldg, 109 Zina Pitcher Place, Ann Arbor, MI 48109. Martin came to NPR in 2006 and launched Tell Me More, a one-hour daily NPR news and talk show that aired on NPR stations nationwide from 2007-2014. She spent more than 25 years as a journalist–first in print with major newspapers and then in television. Martin has also served as contributor and substitute host for NPR news magazines and talk shows, including Talk of the Nation and News & Notes.
There will be a reception following the lecture.
The CEW Mullin Welch Series was established in 1989 by Frances Daseler and Marjorie Jackson in memory of their sister Elizabeth Charlotte Mullin Welch, bringing to campus lecturers who exemplify Elizabeth’s characteristics: creativity, strength of character and expansive vision.
The 2015 Carol Hollenshead Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change will be presented before the lecture. This year’s recipients are Sandra Gregerman, U-M Director of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, and Edward Goldman, U-M Adjunct Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
This lecture is free and open to the public but registration is requested. Please register at progevents/2015-cew-mullin-welch-lecture-featuring-michel-martin-npr/20150120
