The 2025 Meredith E. Drench Lecture “Variations on the Problem of Goodness” will be presented by Tracy Kidder, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains and Rough Sleepers.
The Meredith E. Drench Lectureship Fund, Sargent College’s first endowed lecture series, was established by physical therapy alumna Meredith E. Drench, PhD, PT to share her passion and belief in the “compassionate rehabilitation” of the whole person. A behavioral specialist, Drench’s work bridged the fields of physical rehabilitation and psychosocial behavioral sciences. This lecture series honors Drench’s legacy and continues her mission of education and advocacy, focusing on the psychosocial aspects of rehabilitation.
