About the Bettye Rose Connell Lecture series
The Bettye Rose Connell Memorial Lecture series was founded in 2009 in honor of Dr. Connell’s important contributions to the field of gerontology–including her work on the Principles of Universal Design–and to move forward fields of investigation including architecture, design of the physical environment, and the interaction between physical environment, aging, and behavior. The two-day annual series consists of a lecture on the evening of the first day, followed by a scientific seminar on the second. Both events are free of charge and open to the public.
