Freshman Honors Retreat, September 2009
- Dan Lamberton leads a writing exercise.
At the retreat, Professors Bev Beem and Linda Emmerson described a world where faith and learning work together; Professor Lamberton guided the students through a writing exercise about their own experience; and Professor Tom Thompson described his fascination with the wonder and beauty of the cosmos. After a feast of ideas and good food, the students spent some time discussing Greg Mortenson’s Three Cups of Tea and thinking about how they can incorporate an ethic of service into their lives.
