Campus will be bustling on May 2 with four main events spread across campus. Check out the busy agenda.

Forensics Lab Open House

May 2 from 2-4 p.m.

Abessinio Building, 1st floor

The new forensics lab – a partnership among the Delaware County District Attorney’s office, Aston Police Department and Neumann – gives county law enforcement the means to investigate crime by analyzing digital devices and monitoring video surveillance.

If you’ve never seen a Sumuri computer, Faraday box or live video surveillance on a 65-inch screen, this open house is worth the trip. Cybersecurity majors who intern in the lab will have experience working on real criminal cases to include in their resumes.

Mental Health Crisis Panel

May 2 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Bruder Life Center, Student Multipurpose Room

Janine McFadden, a licensed professional counselor, and James Corbett, an entrepreneur who has launched two programs to assist America’s veterans, will join Dr. Jenelle Abnett to discuss mental health challenges in a variety of industries.

The panel will address issues that affect those who struggle with mental health personally, those who deal with mental health in their profession, and those who are caregivers.

LEAD Conference

May 2: Presentation sessions from 3:15-4:15 p.m., Bachmann Main Building, Rooms 315-318

Poster symposium from 4:30-6 p.m., Mirenda Center, Bayada Atrium

Modeled after TED talks, the LEAD conference offers students the opportunity to develop their research and presentation skills. This annual event has been sponsored by the Honors Program since 2012.

Roses: A Cultural Arts Forum Lecture

May 2 from 1:30-2:30 p.m.

Bruder Life Center, Meagher Theatre

Part history lesson, part gardening advice, this lecture by Heather Gallagher is all about roses. A horticulturist at Linvilla Orchards, Gallagher will explore historical uses of the rose as well as modern landscaping trends.
