Maryville College will celebrate MC Homecoming the weekend of October 25 with multiple events.
Prior to Saturday’s game, the divisions of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and Computer Science, along with the Neuroscience major and Scots Science Scholars, are hosting two events on Friday, October 25, that will showcase student research and success and the work of one distinguished alumnus and scientist, Dr. Robert Mahley ’63.
Robert Mahley M.D. Ph.D.
Mahley, senior investigator, president emeritus and founder of Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California, and professor of pathology and medicine at the University of California-San Francisco, will present Alzheimer’s Disease: Protecting or Replacing Neurons to Rebuild Lives at 2 p.m. in the Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
Mahley’s wife, Linda Kenzie Mahley ’64, will also be a guest during Homecoming weekend, when she will sit in on some of the college’s Teaching English as a Second Language classes. During her own time at Gladstone, she taught English as a second language to more than 300 scientists, researchers and doctoral candidates from more than 30 countries.
After Mahley’s presentation, attendees, alumni and friends are invited to visit Sutton Science Center and visit with current faculty, staff and students in an open house from 3-4 p.m.
