This is the title of a recent mailing that made its way to my inbox. I've mentioned a few dozen times that we receive lots and lots of mail here in College Counseling. Newsletters, brochures, letters, and updates from colleges come to the office on a regular basis. This recent mailing from Lafayette College caught my attention because of the image of Mikhail Gorbachev on the front cover. That's hard to miss in an inbox full of images of smiling undergraduates on sunny campuses! Clearly the brochure was meant to be attention grabbing and it worked. I was excited to learn about Lafayette's new Oechsle Center for Global Education and was interested to read the transcription of Mr. Gorbachev's October 2011 address, which marked the creation of this new center. "Interdisciplinary in its orientation and innovative in its approach to learning and to global citizenship and service, [The Oechsle Center] will include state-of-the-art instructional facilities, formal and informal meeting spaces, and offices for faculty members whose teaching and research interests advance the center's mission."
I am VERY impressed. For more details about the Oechsle Center and Gorbachev's speech, go here!
