Hear Renowned Professor on Learning Tonight

Educators, parents and others interested in learning should take advantage of an opportunity tonight to hear an expert in a program dedicated to the memory of the late Herb Green, a tireless advocate for education.

The program is sponsored by the Plainfield League of Women Voters, which Green headed as its first male president and then again for a second term in recent years.

See details here:

On Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 6:30 pm, the League of Women Voters of Plainfield will present its First Annual Herbert Green Forum on Education, with guest speaker Dr. Arnold L. Glass, Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Rutgers University. The talk will take place in the Anne Louise Davis Room at the Plainfield Public Library, located at 800 Park Avenue in Plainfield.

Dr. Glass, whose research focuses on cognitive learning, heads the Learning and Memory Laboratory of the Department of Psychology at Rutgers, and he has published widely in the American Journal of Psychology, The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Memory and Cognition, and other professional journals.
The Herbert Green Forum on Education is named in memory of our beloved colleague, who died recently at the age of 87 after a brave battle with cancer. This event is free and open to the public, and the League especially encourages educators to attend to hear Dr. Glass's presentation. Refreshments will be served after the talk.
The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The meeting is 7 p.m. in City Hall Library.)
