Kutztown University’s philosophy professor, Dr. John Lizza, delivers the Chambliss Faculty Lecture on "Defining the End of Life" on Wednesday, May 2 at 4:30 p.m. in MSU 183. Dr. Lizza’s lecture, “Defining the End of Life,” examines the current debate over whether “brain death” is death and whether individuals in persistent vegetative state should be counted among the living “we.” Advances in medical technology have posed many ethical and social problems, but perhaps none more fundamental and challenging than the problem of defining death.

Many thanks to Bernard McCree, director, Financial Aid for his help with a story published in the Reading Eagle! Here's the link: http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=382189 I want to thank the campus community for their support of Wednesday’s Berks County Special Olympics event held on campus. We were the hosts to more than 2,500 Special Olympic athletes, volunteers and supporters. Having the ability to park 50 school buses in the Stratton Administration parking lot made for a very safe and enjoyable day for all. I understand that this was a minor inconvenience to some, but seeing the smiles on the faces of the Special Olympic athletes was well worth it. Thank you again for your cooperation and understanding in helping us support the Special Olympics. Terry L.
