Our keynote speaker for Humanities Matter! is David Berry. What a coup! Here is his bio:
David Berry, professor of history at Essex County College, Newark, New Jersey, was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 1997 for his long term work with the Community College Humanities Association, where he has been both executive director and chair of the board of directors since 1989. He was the first community college educator to receive this prestigious award. He has served as a project manager of nine National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institutes. Berry has elevated the role of the humanities in community colleges and has served as the national voice for the study of humanities in two year colleges. He also sits on the board of Imagining America, a consortium of colleges and universities that promotes “scholarly and creative work jointly planned and carried out by university and community partners.”
David Berry’s keynote address will take place at the Robert A. Peck Arts Center Gallery at 12:30 PM on Friday, October 23. It is free and open to the public.
