An evening with journalist and author Bob Woodward
One of America’s preeminent investigative reporters and nonfiction authors, Bob Woodward, will be speaking at Messiah College on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Parmer Hall. Mr. Woodward has worked for The Washington Post since 1971 as a reporter and is currently an associate editor there. As a young reporter in 1972, Woodward was teamed up with Carl Bernstein. The two did much, but not all, of the original news reporting of the Watergate scandal that led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. Gene Roberts, former managing editor of The New York Times, has called the work of Woodward and Bernstein “maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time.”
Woodward has authored or coauthored 16 nonfiction books in the last 36 years. All 16 have been national best-sellers and 12 of them have been #1 national nonfiction best-sellers—more #1 national nonfiction best-sellers than any contemporary author. General admission tickets are $25. Student tickets (with ID) are $10. To purchase, please contact th Messiah College Ticket Office at 717-691-6036 or visit messiah.edu/tickets.
“Kanye’s Temple: The Hyper- Religiosity of Pop Culture, to be addressed Nov. 3
Gregory Alan Thornbury, president of The King’s College and Messiah College alum (’93) will address the topic, “Kanye’s Temple: The Hyper- Religiosity of Pop Culture” on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Parmer Hall. Many Christians accept the narrative of a sacred-secular divide: people who have “faith” and those who don’t. But is this account of culture true? Thornbury will argue that even today America remains, as Flannery O’Connor once observed, “a Christ-haunted landscape.” Admission is free, but a ticket is required. Chapel credit will be given for this event. To obtain a ticket, contact the Messiah College Ticket Office or visit messiah.edu/tickets. The lecture is sponsored by the Messiah College Honors Program and the Office of the President. For more information, contact the Messiah College Honors Program at collegehonorsprogram@messiah.edu or 796-1800, ext. 7099.
Thank you for your hospitality
Thank you for your assistance and hospitality as Admissions welcomed 315 students and their family members for our Monday, Oct. 12 Open House. It was a standing-room-only event! While we celebrate strong numbers for our recruitment events, we do acknowledge the hard work that comes with welcoming and accommodating so many visitors while classes are in session. Based on the comments we received from visiting families, our community shined! We also appreciate the many employees who parked off site to make room for our guests. Our next Open House is on Saturday, Oct. 31. We will also be hosting three Friday Spotlight Days on Nov. 6, 13 and 20 that may require special accommodation. We will monitor the registration counts for these events and let you know of special requests related to parking and assistance. THANK YOU!
– John Chopka, vice president for enrollment management
