He conducts a dinner/Bible study that is aimed at international students, which meets every Friday at 6 p.m. in the Pace Hall lobby. The “Global Access Project” was created by the U.S. Department of State in order to increase knowledge of American foreign policy and international issues as well as to encourage careers in civil and foreign services at the U.S. Department of State. This is the second stage of a series of five lectures. The first was on Sept. 12. Approximately 75 people attended the first meeting. "The first lecture was really fun, and I think that the audience enjoyed it,” said Scott Nokes, director of upper division literature at TSU, “One of my colleagues said that it had a Mardi-Gras atmosphere.” |
