Things That Go Bump in the Night
Do you hear eerie sounds in the dead of night? Is someone watching you even though no one is there? Do doors mysteriously open on their own?

And please bring your own ghostly tales to share.

Public lecture series
Originally named Special Lectures, the series was renamed in 2012 to honour the late Dr. Ken Rozee, an outstanding microbiologist, a noted university professor, historian, mentor, and friend, widely recognized for his contributions to research and teaching. A former president of SCANS, Ken was always interested in sharing his science, his love of history and his other interests with students young and old.
The name "Memorial Lectures" was changed to "Public Lectures" in 2016. These lectures serve to honour all recently-deceased SCANS members.
A list of the past public lectures held in HRM is available here.
