Dolores Hernandez Lecture Series
The Dolores Hernandez Lecture Series is a celebrated series of public lectures in Science and Mathematics Education, traditionally read at Vidal Tan Hall of the University of the Philippines, National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development (UP-NISMED) by one or a group of Academics or Educators, both from the Philippines and other countries. Named in honor of Dr. Dolores F. Hernandez (1925–2006), the founder of the Science Education Center (now, National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development of the University of the Philippines), the lecture series was conceived by Dr. Milagros D.
