Emmy Award-winning documentarian Sandra Robbie and health communications expert Lisa Sparks were the featured speakers at the March 19 segment of the 2011 "Visiting Scholars Series," in which faculty and other representatives from Chapman University discuss wide-ranging topics with Nicholas Academic Centers students, parents and staff . Robbie showed the PBS special she wrote and produced, "Mendez v. Westminster: For All the Children/Para Todos los Ninos," which revealed the story of the 1940s school desegregation case that paved the way for the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Professor Sparks discussed "Health and Media Literacy" and challenged participants to create their own communications presentations to raise awareness of disease prevention and healthy lifestyles.
