SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Roger Lipsey
DESCRIPTION:Politics and Conscience: Dag Hammarskjöld on the Art of Ethical Leadership\, published in late February\, gives us the occasion to look at Hammarskjöld’s life and contributions as a whole. Roger’s talk\, richly illustrated with photographs and documents\, will explore Hammarskjöld’s eight-plus years as secretary-general of the United Nations\, his simmering conflict with Charles de Gaulle (the UN? “ce machin!”)\, and the power of his political thought and practice.\n\n\n\n‘At a time when political leadership in many contexts seems to be assimilating itself to the worst and most corrosive bits of the entertainment industry\, and when the whole ideal of public service is disregarded or despised\, it matters that we know where to look for hope and challenge.  Dag Hammarskjöld’s extraordinary example of a statesmanship that was at once astute\, humble\, courageous\, patient and risky is as necessary for us as water in the desert; and in this welcome book\, Hammarskjöld’s finest modern biographer sets out with model clarity and passion just what we might learn from him\, just what we might hold ourselves accountable to.’    \n— Rowan Williams\, Master of Magdalene College (Cambridge)\, Archbishop of Canterbury (ret.) \n\n\n\n\nRoger is the author of Hammarskjöld: A Life (2013)\, the first full biography in 40 years\, well-received in the English-speaking world and Scandinavia. He has published many other books on topics ranging from the spiritual in twentieth-century art to the life of the Trappist monk and author Thomas Merton. Roger has an undergraduate degree from Yale College and a PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts (New York University). Visit rogerlipsey.net for a complete overview of his work as a writer.

SUMMARY:Understanding the American University Application Process: with College Goals (By RSVP)
DESCRIPTION:For teens ages 14-18 and their parents\n \n  \n \n  \nGiven the demands of the American university application process\, students interested in pursuing higher education in the US are well advised to begin preparing early in their high school career\, before they embark on their final two years of study toward the French bac or IB. What do families need to know for their students to be successful and satisfied by the university search and application process? How do students produce a strong and interesting US university application? College Goals’ counselor\, Andrea van Niekerk\, will address the complexities of the American university application system\, with special attention to the process and mechanics. She will also take questions about applications to the UK and Canada. \nAndrea van Niekerk served for a decade as Associate Director of Admission\, with a focus on international applicants\, and as Freshman Academic Adviser at Brown University\, and as Residential Fellow in a dorm at Stanford. Still based in Silicon Valley\, she now works with both American and international families as part of College Goals. Andrea has over 20 years of experience in college admission and academic advising. She is a member of NACAC\, HECA and WACAC. \nCollege Goals is a university admission consulting practice specializing in counseling families interested in higher education opportunities in the US and in English-medium universities around the world. The team of counselors collectively offers decades of professional experience in higher education.
