UWM will be presenting an Honorary Degree to Dr. Eugenie C. Scott at the
Winter Commencement ceremony on Dec. 17 at the US Cellular Arena in
downtown Milwaukee. Dr. Scott is the executive director of the National
Center for Science Education in Berkeley Calif. She received both her BS
and MS Zoology Degrees from UWM in 1967 and 1968, respectively. Dr.
Scott is a leading proponent for the teaching of evolution in schools
around the country. Following the Commencement ceremony there will be a
reception for Dr. Scott from 4-6 p.m. in the front lobby of the newly
remodeled Lapham Hall, 3209 N. Maryland Ave., on the UWM Campus. Dr.
Scott will make a presentation at 4:30. Both the South and North wings
of the building will be open for inspection during the hours of the
reception. The North Wing has just reopened after two years of
remodeling with new labs and offices on all floors, beautiful artwork to
be seen on the front of the building and new landscaping. All alumni are
invited to attend, especially those who spent a good bit of their life
in the old Lapham Hall. Parking is free on Sundays, with the Science Lot
south of Lapham being your best bet. Enter the lot westbound off Kenwood
Boulevard just west of Maryland Avenue. For more information, e-mail
