President Kathryn Mohrman will present an honorary degree to George Crumb , modern composer and Pulitzer Prize winner. A free performance at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, in Packard Hall, will honor the world-renowned composer. Crumb is known for pushing the boundaries of modern composition, employing new sounds and finding different ways to play traditional instruments. Andy Vogt, philosophy major and debate team champion from Littleton, Colo., has been elected by the Class of 2000 to deliver the senior address. At the conclusion of Vogt's talk, President Mohrman will award the graduates their degrees in the college's traditional Z - A fashion.
