McKenna Government and Political Education Series Dr. Henry (Hank) T. Edmondson III has taught at Georgia College and State University since 1988 and is a graduate of the University of Georgia. He currently directs the Center for Transatlantic Studies, housed in the GCSU Department of Government. He has directed student programs in Europe involving over a dozen different European countries for the past fifteen years. His orientation is that of political philosophy, and, accordingly, he teaches several courses in that field. He has a special interest in the American Founding period and in politics and literature. These interests give rise to courses that combine politics on one hand, and Shakespeare and J.R.R. Tolkien on the other. He regularly teaches Public Ethics, Public Law for the Public Manager, and Leadership. In 1995, he was the lead teacher in a Pentagon-sponsored graduate program in which he taught Leadership and Ethics to officers on board the Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. Classes were taught through video teleconferencing as well as on board the ship in the Pacific. In 2003 he was named GCSU “Distinguished Professor” for excellence in teaching, research and service to the university, and in 2008 he was inducted into the Honor Society for contributions to the GCSU Honors and Scholars Program. Edmondson is widely published in politics and literature, ethics and education reform, and political philosophy and has lectured at various universities in the U.S. as well as Oxford University, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Glasgow, the University of Aberdeen, various literary festivals in Ireland, and at the University of Madrid. This April he will be delivering guest lectures at four different universities in Spain. In 2008 he directed a conference in Chicago, in which 20 American and European academicians and political leaders spent three days comparing and contrasting the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers with the Constitutional Treaty of the European Union. The conference included participants from the United States, Ireland, France, Germany and Spain. Among other activities, he is currently at work on a text on the Federalist Papers and Leadership and on an American Government text that integrates the basics of American politics with the Federalist Papers. http://www.stvincent.edu/static/multimedia/01_20_09_mckenna_edmondson.mp3 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:54:45 -0500 Podcasting no 00:36:04 Saint Vincent College, Saint Vincent, SVC, Higher Education, Podcasts, Lectures, Threshold, Speeches Saint Vincent College 11/2/09 - The Heritage Conference David T.

Christopher Donahue, President and CEO of Federated Investors, Inc. in Pittsburgh and Chairman of the Saint Vincent College Board of Directors, delivered the commencement address. President Jim Towey described Donahue as “an exceptional blend of intellect, humility and humor.” He went on to call him “a dreamer and a doer,” and described him as “a mixture of idealism and pragmatism.” Donahue’s dedication to his family and his integrity as a businessman have been important characteristics of one of the most successful financial management companies in the country, even in times of economic uncertainty. Donahue spoke to the importance of keeping your deals. He illustrated the point with a humorous story about his own deal he kept with his children to get a family dog. “Because of the underlying dignity of all of the players in the community, deals are the very fabric of our society.” Recognizing the many friendships that graduates built as part of the Saint Vincent community, Donahue encouraged students to continue to use that expertise in building their communities after Saint Vincent. “The pursuit of in communio is where happiness lies.” He acknowledged the class’ reputation of service and emphasized the importance of always being professional. “You have the ability to choose both your profession and your approach – this is real power. If you allow your role in the community to rule, I believe you get happiness in passing. http://www.stvincent.edu/static/multimedia/05_09_09_donahue.mp3 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 13:16:49 -0400 Podcasting no 00:18:16 Saint Vincent College, Saint Vincent, SVC, Higher Education, Podcasts, Lectures, Threshold, Speeches Saint Vincent College 4/2 - 4/4/09 - The Idea of the American University “The Idea of the American University” is the topic a three day interdisciplinary conference being held at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.

Carey Student Center on the campus of Saint Vincent College. Her presentation was entitled, “Courage and Character: An Evening with Della Reese.” In this inspirational speech, Ms. Reese told the story of a young woman growing up in poverty in Detroit and her journey to fame. With humor and warmth, she shared the struggles and triumph, professing the unyielding power of one’s desire to reach for the stars. The presentation was given in conjunction with the year-long observance of the 25th anniversary of coeducation at Saint Vincent. Ms. Marianne Reid Anderson, honorary chair of the anniversary committee and a member of the board of directors, introduced Ms. Reese. Ms. Reese, who was born Deloresse Patricia Early in Detroit, Michigan, began singing in church when she was six years old. At the age of 13, she was hired by the late Mahalia Jackson to tour and perform with her. Later, while majoring in psychology at Wayne State University, she formed her own female Gospel group, The Meditation Singers, which is listed in the Who’s Who of Gospel Music. Her roots firmly planted in Gospel music, she developed her own individual style that took her to national prominence. In 1953, she made the move to New York City, became a vocalist with the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra. Her early recordings included In the Still of the Night, I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, and Time After Time. She had her first major hit with And That Reminds Me (of You). In 1959, she enjoyed her biggest hit, a tune adapted from Puccini’s “La Boheme” entitled Don’t You Know? and was nominated for a Grammy as best female vocalist. This led to Ms. Reese performing for the next nine years in Las Vegas on the famed Strip. In the 30 years that followed, Ms. Reese has continued recording and was again nominated for a Grammy in 1987 as best female soloist in Gospel. A generous amount of television exposure followed Ms. Reese’s first recording successes. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, she appeared on many television variety shows that are now considered classics. She was also the first female to host The Tonight Show. She was soon asked to host her own talk show, Della, making her the first Black woman to host her own show which was syndicated nationally in 1969-1970. Television, which became the medium of the 1970s and 1980s, saw a lot of Della Reese. Later, she starred in her own series, The Royal Family with Redd Foxx. She received an Emmy nomination for her work in the television movie Nightmare in Badham County. Her most recent television credit was as the co-star in the CBS dramatic series, Touched by an Angel, where she was able to combine her talent for acting and singing, as she sang the theme song. Her television work was honored in 1994, when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2002, she announced that she suffers from Type-2 Diabetes. Today, she acts as spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association, traveling around the United States to raise awareness about the disease. http://www.stvincent.edu/static/multimedia/03_12_09_della_reese.mp3 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:51:59 -0400 Podcasting no 01:18:43 Saint Vincent College, Saint Vincent, SVC, Higher Education, Podcasts, Lectures, Threshold, Speeches Saint Vincent College 3/11/09 - Alex G.

The subtle and pointed nature of Socrates’ questions, his pursuit of accuracy in definition by calling for precise distinctions, and his battle against those who favored victory in argument over the search for truth–these are the features that philosophers have long prided themselves on emulating. This is what I am calling the “Socratic” side of Plato’s Socrates. It emphasizes the ethical or broadly “moral” dimension of philosophical formation. As we shall see, it presumes and tries to effect a certain “transformation” in the knowing subject himself and a kind of “conversion,” if you will, in the objects of one’s concerns. This is philosophy not as self-knowledge but as “care of the self” (epimeleia heautou). While this notion of philosophy as transformation, as a way of life, has tended to be overshadowed by the view of philosophy as technical theorizing, recent years have seen an increased interest in the Socratic mode of philosophical care of the self. This talk will explore this renewal in two prominent French thinkers, Michel Foucault and Pierre Hadot.
