Dinner with Prof. Marvin Chun
The Triangle Yale Club presents one of Yale's most popular speakers, Prof. Marvin Chun. The Club's programs director, Stacy Pardue '82, said, "Last summer at my 25th reunion, I heard the lecture that Professor Chun will give here on December 4th. There were 200 plus in attendance, and we were all totally blown away by his presentation! The material on brain imaging is absolutely fascinating, and he is a very engaging speaker with a colorful personality;
we hung on his every word. I would encourage people to come and bring your high school and college age kids too--they will love it! I can see why Professor Chun's psychology 101 class consistently has to turn students away because it always fills to capacity (500 students)."
Since joining the Yale faculty, Chun has won numerous awards for his research and teaching. This spring, the Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, a nationwide academic honors society, gave him the DeVane Award, the oldest and most prestigious award for teaching in Yale College.
Also master of Berkeley College, Chun's lecture class on basic psychology has a two year wait list. If you've heard about the engaging young Yale professor who can entrance an audience, this is the one, and the Triangle Yale Club will host him.
