This spring is the 50th anniversary of the Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Research Symposium. The symposium was started by the late Dr. Richard Kowles in 1974 and remains the longest, continuously running science symposium in Minnesota. Across the years, thousands of students have presented at the Saint Mary’s science symposia, which featured many renowned scientists as keynote speakers, including Dr. Michael Osterholm (1993), Dr. Tyrone Hayes (2005) and Dr. John J. Stegeman (2010).
This year, we are excited to announce that the Richard Kowles Memorial Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Susan Galatowitsch (BA-1981), Professor of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota. As a renowned scholar and educator in the field of restoration ecology, Dr. Galatowitsch’s work embodies the legacy of the late Brother Charles Severin, who was a pioneer in ecological research and teaching, using Gilmore Creek, the Mississippi River, and the bluffs as a backdrop for field-based learning and undergraduate research. We will Zoom her presentation for those of you who would like to attend remotely.
