    The last meeting of the Christian Faculty Forum for the school year will be held on April 9th from 12:30 to 1:30 in Tate 473. The speaker for the meeting will be emeritus UGA professor Dr. Russ Carlson. Russ retired from UGA in 2014 after a career in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology department and a member of the Complex Carbohydrates Research Center (CCRC). Russ earned his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Colorado. After serving as a professor at Eastern Illinois University for nine years, he joined the faculty at UGA as an associate professor in 1988. Russ’ topic will be “When Opposition Comes: The Blessing in the Challenge.” A brief abstract is below.

    A light lunch will be provided to everyone who sends in their RSVP by 5 pm, Tuesday, April 8th, by filling out the form below. If you plan to attend but don’t need a lunch provided, please RSVP and indicate that as well.

    Abstract: After encouragement from the University for professors to spend time outside of class with their students, Russ and his wife offered an optional dinner at their home to discuss faith and science. However, he was accused by another professor of intimidating students. Russ will share his story of God’s faithfulness in this challenge and the support he received from other faculty.
