TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — At age 50 and in fairly good health, Dr. Chris Roberts, a University of Alabama associate professor of journalism, isn’t planning on putting his final affairs in order anytime soon.
But if his demise – or retirement – was impending, he knows the last lecture he would give to his students.
And as the recently announced 2016 recipient of the Last Lecture Award, Roberts will get a chance to deliver that lecture, titled “MAMA CALLED: Lessons Learned by Leaving Alabama and Coming Home Again,” April 20 at 7 p.m. in room 159 Russell Hall. A reception will follow.
