The 2024 Glassman Symposium will be held October 31 – November 1.
Honoring Outstanding Student and Faculty, and Alumni Research in Behavioral and Life Sciences
The Brain Awareness Week Faculty/Student Symposium was renamed the Robert B. Glassman Memorial Brain, Mind, and Behavior Symposium in 2013 in honor of the late Professor of Psychology Robert Glassman, who played a leading role in developing Lake Forest’s popular neuroscience major.
