Dr. Hartwig presents at Heifer
International faculty summit
Dr. Charles Hartwig, Political
Science, was recently an invited participant in the first faculty
summit at the Heifer International headquarters in Little Rock.
Eighteen faculty members and administrators from around the nation
spent two-and-a-half days meeting with leaders of one of the world's
top hunger and poverty abatement non-governmental organizations. The
faculty members, administrators, and organization representatives
then formulated an action plan to help Heifer International become
more visible and more active on college campuses. The eighteen
participants will be the first "Heifer Ambassadors," spreading the
word about the unique worldwide animal-based relief programs of
Heifer International. For more information, see

is now available to the public. The site lists reference materials
and other information about the issue. Jim Pickens, chair of the

or select a new nickname and mascot.
