The President and Governors of the University of West Terrier wish to congratulate Noreen on her nomination for a Chitter Radio Literary Award in the speech category.

Noreen, who serves as adjunct professor in the Department of Human Studies, chaired our October 2016 forum on The Effects of Human Architecture on Other Animals. On the second day of that two-day event, Noreen addressed the forum and gave a speech that was riveting  and insightful. “Doors, Screens, Walls, Halls: The Ins and Outs of Human Architecture,” opened a window into aspects of the Human world with which many of us were not familiar.

Congratulations, Noreen, and thank you for your work at the University of West Terrier. We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
