Sharper Focus/Wider Lens Panel Discussion: 4-5:45 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11th.
 
On April 11, several Michigan State faculty members will share their thoughts and expertise on COVID-19’s impact on the East Lansing community and beyond.  

The Honors College is proud to sponsor Sharper Focus/Wider Lens, a series of events that are organized to encourage more conversations on topics concerning the Michigan State community.  

The series celebrates this progress and invites students, faculty, and the local community to exchange ideas about trans-disciplinary topics. 

This year, five panelists were selected to talk about the COVID-19 research they executed in the community.  

John Beck, associate professor in the School of Human Resources & Labor Relations at Michigan State, will mediate the event and facilitate conversations between the panelists.  

“The panel is a wonderful opportunity for exploring more about the experience we have shared with five scholars who can expand our understanding across a diverse range of points of view from a rich mix of disciplines,” Beck said.  

This year’s five panelists include Michigan State faculty, Amanda Holmstrom, Ph.D, Scott Imberman, Ph.D., Jack Lipton, Ph.D, Elizabeth Sneller, Ph.D, and Irving Vega, Ph.D.  

Each panelist will share their ideas and findings for eight minutes before coming together and opening the conversation to the audience.  

This year’s panel “Pushing through the Pandemic: Looking Back/Looking Forward,”   is one in which everyone—both panelists and viewers—are all experts.
