March 1, 2011 - Shorter University will host its final lecture of the 2010-2011 Hopkins Institute for Business Ethics this Thursday at the university’s Robert H. Ledbetter College of Business.

The free event, scheduled for Thursday, March 3 at 11 a.m., will feature Dr. Lois Robley of Kennesaw State University.  Her lecture is titled  “Ethics and End-of-Life Issues.”

Dr. Robley earned her doctoral degree from Georgia State University in Nursing Education in 1998.
