An Inspirational Address

I hope that all of you were able to take part in academic convocation yesterday afternoon, in part because convocation is always a significant event in the life of this community, but primarily because this year we heard a most inspirational convocation address. Paul Loeb's call to action echoes that of anthropologist Margaret Mead, who once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."As you begin your college careers at Merrimack, it is appropriate to consider our shared responsibility for each other and the planet we inhabit. Please respond to this post with your own thoughts on the meaning of social responsibility.
