Establishment of the Warren and Janet Brown Scholarship
Fuller Theological Seminary and the School of Psychology announce the establishment of the Warren and Janet Brown Scholarship in honor of Dr. Warren S. Brown and his wife, Janet. As director of the Lee Edward Travis Research Institute (TRI), Warren Brown has made a tremendous contribution to the understanding of the corpus callosum and its role in a variety of cognitive and emotional processes. As a caring professor and beloved mentor, Warren has ignited and supported in his students a love for research and a deep curiosity about the place in the brain where the spiritual and emotional life intersect. Warren’s work at the boundary of theology and neuroscience exemplifies psychology and theology integration at its best. For more information, please visit the TRI website.
