Students
gathered at the Blanchard Ice Rink January 20 for a Chillbuster,
a new weekly event held every Thursday (weather permitting)
from 3 pm to 4 pm. The College provided warm drinks, treats,
and skate rentals, and the Blanchard Lantern, a new outdoor
fireplace, provided heat to keep the skaters warm in spite
of frigid temperatures. |
The
long-planned spring series, Water Matters: Survival for the Twenty-First
Century, sponsored by the Harriet L. and Paul M. Weissman Center
for Leadership and the Liberal Arts, could not be more timely
and appropriate. The devastating effects of South Asia's tsunami,
as well as the deadly mudslides in Southern California, recently
have shown us just how powerful -- and unpredictable -- water
can be. The Weissman series, which will explore the political,
environmental, and cultural meanings of water, includes art exhibitions,
lectures, public conversations, and two symposia.
