The Dr. Richard & Nancy Christiansen Lectureship for Craniofacial Research & Education is an endowed lecture within the School of Dentistry. Created in 2017 through a generous gift from Dr. and Mrs. Christiansen, they intend that through this fund, the School of Dentistry will provide opportunities for faculty members, students, and alumni to interact with experts who will share ideas in the broad field of craniofacial research and education.
This year's lecture—intended for a mixed audience of clinicians and researchers—features the work of Jamie L. Perry, Ph.D. Dr. Perry serves as the Chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. She will present "Innovations in MRI and Future Clinical Application for Velopharyngeal Assessment" and field questions via Zoom.
