In the Alumni Lecture Series, Walden University graduates with a demonstrated level of expertise share practical advice such as “Teaching a Child with Special Needs” and “The Use of Humor in Coping with Breast Cancer: The Laughter Prescription.”

This monthly series of Web-based presentations is sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations. It shares 45- to 50-minute presentations on topics in which alumni are highly practiced, while affording the alumni the opportunity to give back to the Walden community.
