Kudos President Peggy R. Williams has been an invited speaker at several programs in recent months. She was a presenter at the Harvard Seminar for New Presidents last summer, she spoke at naturalization proceedings for new U. S. citizens at the Tompkins County courthouse, and she was the keynote speaker at Cornell University’s Administrative Management Institute, a weeklong, residential program for higher education administrators from across the country. Lee W. Bailey, philosophy and religion, coedited the new Anthology of Living Religions with author Mary Pat Fisher. A collection of readings that includes classic texts and contemporary explorations of world religions, the anthology is meant to accompany Fisher’s widely used textbook Living Religions. Both works are published by Calmann & King in London and Prentice Hall in the United States. Bill Hastings and Susan Weisend, art, are two of the 45 artists participating in the Greater Ithaca Art Trail. In effect throughout the coming year, the trail offers artists, and visitors a chance to schedule self-guided tours of the participating artists’ studios and see both finished projects and works in progress. Visiting hours can be arranged by appointment. For more information visit the Web site at www.arttrail.com. Garry Thomas, anthropology, spent the fall semester of his 1998–99 sabbatical in Tanzania training 50 new Peace Corps volunteers and working with 20 Tanzanian staff as a cross-cultural training coordinator. In spring he was in Rome as a natural resource management consultant for the United Nations Planning and Policy Division. He was responsible for bringing an anthropological perspective to conflict management.
