About the Lecture
This endowed lectureship was established in 1991 by the late William H.B. Howard, A&S ’59, in honor of his mother, Harriet Shriver Rogers, whose support made it possible for him to matriculate at Johns Hopkins following his military service. The goal of this lecture is to feature an accomplished individual to share their experiences at Johns Hopkins, the path their career took after graduation, including professional accomplishments, and to offer advice to students as they embark on the same journey.
