60 years of (AM)LCI

Join Us for the 60th Anniversary of the Glen H. Brown Liquid Crystal Institute Celebration

We are excited to commemorate six decades of growth, innovation, and community at (AM)LCI with a special two-day celebration, on April 25 & 26, 2025!

Friday will kick off with TED Talks from current student fellowship award winners. Followed by a reception with hors d'oeuvres. This will be the first of many opportunities to reconnect with friends and colleagues.

Saturday will feature speeches from current and past (AM)LCI Directors, followed by the presentation of Alumni and Mentor Awards. Guests will also have the opportunity to tour our state-of-the-art facilities and explore demos and prototypes showcasing ongoing work from our labs and research projects. The event will include lunch, offering further opportunities to network. The floor will be open for anyone to share their memories and celebrate the rich legacy of the (AM)LCI and all affiliated graduate programs.

We invite you to be a part of this memorable occasion as we reflect on our shared history and look forward to an even brighter future.
