B-W: Harrington Distinguished Visiting Professors

Each year the Psychology Department at Baldwin-Wallace College invites a distinguished psychologist to the campus for lectures and personal interaction with students and faculty. The program is based on a generous endowment to the Department in honor of Kathryn Grover Harrington and Robert A. Harrington.

This year’s Kathryn Grover Harrington & Robert A. Harrington Distinguished Visiting Professor is Dr. Laurence Steinberg. One of the world's leading authorities on adolescent psychological development, Dr. Steinberg's research has focused on a range of topics including adolescent brain development, risk-taking and decision making, school achievement, and juvenile justice.

Dr. Steinberg will present his program, "Why Teenagers Take Risks" to the B-W Community on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 8:00 P.M. in Gamble Auditorium of the Kulas Musical Arts Building (96 Front St., Berea).
