I will answer these questions and more during this presentation. I will also describe my experiences during a week-long workshop I attended at Mauna Kea."
Lightner, who has been with Westminster College since 1970, earned his undergraduate degree from Randolph-Macon College, and his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.
