Issue date: 2/28/08 Section: Campus Life
"I think my take on this is that we are searching for a reason to exist and I believe it is vital to let our lives speak to our passion," Samuels said. "As I prepare for this event, I am thinking about what I want my legacy to be in this life. I want to share my desire to live life to the fullest making sure that I make a positive difference in the lives of people."
In addition to Samuels, other faculty who are slated to speak are: J.T. Knoll, director of Student Prevention and Wellness; Mark Johnson, a member of the faculty in the Department of Technology Management; Jack Kennedy, who recently retired from the Department of English; Dennis Jameson, an officer with University Police and Parking Services; and Howard R. Smith, a member of the faculty and interim chairman of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
Wright says he hopes that the PSU Last Lecture Showcase is successful enough to become a full-fledged lecture series.

Dr. Orville Brill would be the ideal person to present this type of lecture. His close relationships with students over the years has given him so much insight into living life and making good choices. (Continued…)
