Attention: All Students
Re: Student Forum with Finalist for DePauw’s Presidency

It is my pleasure to write to you again as one of two student representatives on DePauw’s Presidential Search Committee to announce the upcoming student forum with Brian Casey.  Dr. Casey will be visiting campus at the end of the week, and I strongly encourage you to attend the following forum with him on:

Friday, February 8
4 - 4:50 p.m.
Green Center for the Performing Arts, Kresge Auditorium

Dr. Casey will have the opportunity to present himself and then respond to questions from the audience.

I urge you to make arrangements to attend the Friday session.  Your input is critical to the process and will be given sincere consideration.  Your comments about the candidates may be emailed to the entire search committee at presidentialsearch@depauw.edu.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing all of you then.

Sincerely,

John Schomburg ‘08
Student Body President

"I don’t think people live a human life if they don’t talk in-depth with other human beings." Russell J. Compton

This past December, DePauw lost one of its champion social justice advocates. Russell J. Compton, professor emeritus of philosophy at DePauw and namesake for the Compton Center for Peace and Justice, passed away at the age of 98. He is remembered for his optimistic take on remedying social injustice and his belief that dialogue is where progressive change happens.

Please join the Compton Center in a Russell-inspired dialogue about our individual roles in the scheme of social justice. This discussion will follow after a short movie sharing Russell Compton’s message. Vegetarian food provided.
