"These thinkers are at the leading edge of research and innovation worldwide, and their enthusiasm to join us for the launch of the Willson Center's 30th anniversary shows how highly our humanities and arts programs are regarded globally," Allen said. "History, music, literature, dance, philosophy, art—all are critical to our university, our society and our economy.
Congratulations to the Willson Center, an important source of ongoing support for Franklin College faculty and students, providing incentives and opportunities for global thinking in our community. We join the Willson Center in welcoming these distinguished guests to campus.
