That s fine. Here s your robe. Phi Theta Kappa is an organization of unusual students. Your average age is 30. You have been out in the world.
Education shapes lives and has profoundly shaped America.
As we enter the second century of the Community College Movement, we take pride in what you have achieved, and we look forward to what you will achieve, particularly in the field of the humanities. So, I am honored that you have invited me to discuss the issues that you face. I learned about those issues last fall when I chaired an NEH Colloquium on the Humanities in Community Colleges. I listened to deans, teachers, scholars and students, and I learned a lot. I learned about teaching loads and about the importance of archives in tribal colleges.
