Schedler Lecture: What Do We Do With This Mess?: Building Community in Times of Uncertainty - Join the Reverend Patricia Lewis Matthews, Episcopal Priest and Executive Director of The Interfaith Center for her discussion on “What Do We Do With This Mess?"

There is much happening in our world today, and many people are wondering how to respond. Norb’s legacy of excellence and community gives us a roadmap for how we can walk through uncertainty with stability, for the good of the world. The Reverend Patricia Lewis Matthews will investigate how these seeds of excellence and community, planted in her by The Honors College over 30 years ago, are the driving force behind the work she does with The Interfaith Center, whose mission is to reduce fear and prejudice among the people of the world’s religions. This work happens by bringing people together in dialogue, education, and events - much like Norb’s dream for all involved in The Honors College ”

The reception for this event will fall between the Founders Day event from 4-5 and the start of this event.
