During the session, each president will speak for approximately 15 minutes on the value of higher education, the overall values embodied in higher education, and possible differing moral and ethical values shared and expressed among the two campuses. Sorensen and McNealey will also engage students in a question and answer session with students after their individual remarks. The new course, which is held at the Stillman College campus, combines 10 students from UA and 24 from Stillman twice weekly.
Students analyze and debate social and educational issues.
Just as important, the presidents' participation in this class shows the two schools' support for joint outreach ventures. Roach said that the joint course was created out of her desire and that of Dr. Beito to combine the experience and differing educational backgrounds from the two universities, in order to form a wider perspective on social issues and current events. Dr. Beito and I are especially happy that we have been able to bring some of our students together this semester in order to discuss some of the important issues that are facing our society today. I think that having presidents Sorensen and McNealey as our guests will leave a lasting impression on our students and will further strengthen our relationship as sister institutions.
