Join fellow Wildcats for an engaging evening with Dr. Ben Garrett '70, who will present his lecture A Career Spent in the Shadows. Read a full description of the lecture here.

In his talk, Dr. Garrett will reflect on his path from Davidson to the FBI, where he served as Senior Scientist for Weapons of Mass Destruction. His extraordinary career took him around the world and often into highly sensitive situations, and he’ll share why this work mattered. His stories promise to be both fascinating and thought-provoking.
