2020 Ward Lecture Series - “When I Grow Up: A Life’s Narrative" with Dr. Douglas Munch

The 2020 Ward lecturer is Dr. Douglas Munch, whose resume includes the Apollo program, the Navy’s F-14 fighter aircraft and a PhD in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering. Recognizing that “navigating through life is a challenge and no decision is perfect,” Dr. Munch will speak to the nature of the choices we make and how they may lead us in countless directions, both personally and professionally. Sharing lessons learned from his own storied career, Dr. Munch will talk about the winding road that led him from graduation at Villanova to life-changing and blockbuster movie-captured experiences with NASA (Apollo 13) and the Navy (Top Gun), as well as medical school, biotech startups, photography and a children’s book.
