Speakers
Continued from Page 9
Another problem between the University and the
community has been that “people don’t know what
kind of excellence is here,” says Bill Orr. a geology pro
fessor who has spoken in the community both about his
work with fossils, and his travels in China. For exam
ple, when public issues such as land-use planning arise
in the community, the University’s resources aren’t us
ed, Orr says.
“The Speakers Bureau is wonderful,” says Ray
Hyman, a psychology professor who talks to communi
ty groups about fake psychics. “It’s a chance to show
people we don’t have horns."
Faculty and staff members have talked free of
charge to Rotary and Kiwanis club members, elemen
tary, middle and high-school students, and members of
churches and various civic organizations.
“So far, the reaction has been almost exclusively
good," he says. “They’re appreciative of the new
perspective the University has given them.”
Elementary-school teacher Paul Bolin said a talk
given by biology professor Aaron Novick was a
highlight of my teaching year.” Novick, who worked
on the 1840s Manhattan Project that developed the
atomic bomb, spoke to children about the threat of
nuclear war.
Beres envisions a future Speakers Bureau with the
added personnel and financial backing to expand its
programs, offer speakers a small fee, and compile an
annual directory of speakers that could be sent to
schools, clubs, and churches throughout the state.
