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.

The Wonderful World of Dance and Music
Step inside the wonderful world of today’s dance and music — everything from a fiddle and harp jam session to jazz dancing. Members of the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts, a longstanding pillar of the Nova Scotia arts community, will welcome us. Director Simon Robinson will tell us a little about the 135 year history of the non-profit Conservatory, the School of Dance's programs, about the Conservatory's role in our health and wellbeing, and their exciting plans for the future. Flutist Sibylle Marquardt will describe the many programs the School of Music has for all ages, and Anna Plaskett will engage us in a musical experience and tell us about her fun and healing Music Therapy Program. There might even be a fun musical exercise for you!
