Meeks will speak on the adolescent period of development.

Meeks has a PhD in child and family therapy from Virginia Tech. Her undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology is from Austin College in Sherman.

Selected SMA students, including juniors and seniors in the honors program, attend the lectures as a preview of university level classes.
