Join the Museum every Tuesday and Thursday for a guided tour of the historic Cummer Gardens, beginning in the Museum lobby.

The Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University welcomes Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert D. Ballard Tuesday, Oct. 10, to kick off its annual Marine Science Pioneer Lecture Series. The event is in partnership with the World Affairs Council of Jacksonville.

Ballard will spend an hour with JU students at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 10 at the MSRI, where he will discuss how he has turned his dreams into reality by taking risks and learning how to face failure and turn it into success. After an 11:30 a.m. reception in the Davis College of Business lobby, he will speak on “Deep Sea Exploration: Past, Present and Future” at a noon luncheon in the DCOB conference rooms. He will take questions from the audience afterward.
