Hartnell College is proud to introduce its inaugural Educator-in-Residence, Dr. Anne Benvenuti, who will help lead our community in a multi-disciplinary exploration of a broad range of topics including affective neuroscience, resilience, the human-animal connection, nature and human nature, and global perspectives on mental health.
Dr. Benvenuti will join us this spring for visits in January, March, April, and May, leading student seminars, staff roundtables, and presenting public talks on these topics and more. Her full schedule of activities can be found here.
