Join the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame for the sixth annual Carrier Medal Ceremony & Lecture, honoring Andrea Ghez, the Lauren B. Leichtman & Arthur E. Levine Chair in Astrophysics and the Director of the UCLA Galactic Center Group at UCLA.
Ghez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy. She became the fourth woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Please join us for a reception—with light hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine—after the program.
