After many years of devoted service as dean of the School of Arts, Culture and Society, Peter Powers returns to the faculty as professor of English in the Department of Language, Literature and Writing and as the new director of the Center for the Public Humanities. The Center’s mission is to bring academic, civic and cultural communities together in a collaborative advancement of culture and learning, and to contribute to the university’s intellectual and cultural climate by stimulating debate and exchange on contemporary issues of significance, both on and off campus. His current research – a book project on the liberal arts and humanities entitled The End(s) of the Humanities – articulates his philosophy of liberal arts education in the 21^st century and will guide his leadership of the Center.

Wanted

Airline miles. Does anyone have anyone have any airline miles they know they won’t be using that they would be willing to sell me for a discount price? I’d like to fly out to San Diego in September to see my sons graduation from the Navy and I know sometimes people have miles that they don’t use. Not even sure you can transfer them, but it was a thought.
Just thought I’d ask. Thank you. Contact sportko@messiah.edu.

A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.

Proverbs 13:40
