Since 1985, the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies has provided opportunities for humanistic research and study to students and faculty at CMC. During this 40th anniversary celebration, in addition to reminiscences about the Center and its impact, the centerpiece of the evening’s program will be a panel consisting of several alumni who will discuss how their humanistic studies at CMC have had a vital and lasting impact on their lives and careers post CMC. Panelists include Will Grant ’94, Norman Hull ’85, and Suzanne Segal ’82, who will speak about their careers in non-profit leadership, the chaplaincy, and the law. Bringing together current students, faculty, and staff with Gould Center Board members and other Gould Center alumni, the evening will serve as a triumphant tribute to the power and importance of the humanities in the world today.
