Alumni Reconnected with UHD and Learned About Wine During Downtown Social Series Event Alumni enjoyed camaraderie and wine education during the last Downtown Social Series event. Over 100 alumni gathered on campus to hear Lisa Morano, Ph.D., Department of Natural Sciences chair and wine researcher, speak about the history, varieties and evaluation of wine. Morano encouraged attendees to sample the nine wine varieties available to determine characteristics including aroma, flavor, dryness and more. Attendees agreed that the presentation was educational, but also fun and engaging.
