Mr. Loeb, who has written a book with the same title, will present a vision of hope and courage in describing how ordinary citizens can make their voices heard and their actions count in a time when they're often told neither matter.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Mr. Loeb has spent 30 years researching and writing about civic responsibility and empowerment by asking what makes some people choose lives of social commitment while others abstain. The author of four widely praised books, Mr. Loeb also has lectured to enthusiastic responses at more than 200 colleges and universities around the country and spoken at numerous conferences, including the American Society of Aging, the American College Personnel Association, and a national conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education. In addition, Mr. Loeb has participated in more than 800 TV and radio interviews, including frequent appearances on the CNN and NBC networks, National Public Radio, and national German, Australian, and Canadian radio. This lecture is sponsored by Trinity University's Teaching and Learning Committee, Trinity University Voluntary Action Center, and the University Chaplaincy.
