Join us for “Six Reasons UM Dearborn is the place to be for a bachelor’s degree”

HFC will host the “Six reasons why the University of Michigan-Dearborn is the place to be for a bachelor of science degree” seminar on Wednesday, November 18, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. in the STEM Center (Room G-110) on the first floor of the Health Sciences Education Center (Building G on the main campus).

The speaker will be Dr. Sven Morgan, a geology professor in the Department of Natural Sciences at UM-Dearborn. Morgan joined the UM-Dearborn faculty in 2019. He teaches geological sciences, structural geology, tectonics, geophysics, and field methods.

“My passion is studying the ancient lava plumbing systems beneath volcanoes,” said Morgan.

An expert in structural geology, Morgan’s research focuses on tectonic processes, ductile deformation, and how magma is emplaced into the Earth's crust. He will speak to students about his research.

A tremendous advocate for building strong partnerships with HFC

“Dr. Morgan has been a tremendous advocate for building strong partnerships with HFC,” said HFC School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Dean Janice Gilliland. “He has taken the initiative to organize faculty meet-ups to share the many research opportunities available to our students transferring to UM-Dearborn. His enthusiasm for collaboration, willingness to build meaningful connections, and continued commitment to creating opportunities for our students exemplify the value of a strong partnership between our institutions.”

Morgan will also speak about transfer opportunities at UM-Dearborn. A transfer advisor from UM-Dearborn will also be there to answer any questions about the transfer process between HFC and UM-Dearborn.

This seminar is free and open to everyone in the HFC community, including non-STEM students. For questions or more information, contact 313-845-6339 or STEMinfo@hfcc.edu.
