INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY DR. GERALD SHINN, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, UNCW

Bridging that "chasm" of difference between his own age and the age of the students he was addressing, Gerry Shinn led the way for the new Albert Schweitzer Honors Scholars Speakers series with words gleaned from experience, inquiry, and spiritual wisdom. In his talk, as in his life of work,  Dr. Shinn represented UNCW's motto, Discere Aude.

Between laughter and reflection, university friends, former students, and current students joined together to reflecct on the words of Dr. Shinn.

A reception after the talk allowed all to discuss the lecture, catch up with Dr. Shinn, and enjoy time with one another. The opportunity for students to interact with Dr. Shinn, as well as other distinguished retired faculty and current faculty and administrators, was a genuinely wonderful part of the whole experience.
