On the way, though, I encountered two students who didn’t geta chance to sign the sign-up sheet at the presentation and wanted credit for attending. Here was my salvation; now, I wouldn’t have to sound smart all by myself! I introduced them to the speaker and sat down beside them. One was a Physical Therapy major and the other, the famed Undecided. No, I don’t recall their names (hey, it was maybe ten years ago) but I do very vividly recall that after they excused themselves, ostensibly to get to class, our speaker also rose to leave but not before saying that Mont Alto was a good place to be. As I walked with him to his car, he went on to say that we were so fortunate to be in a place that offered students that opportunity to be, that term that philosophy folk use a lot. The Campus Theme program has evolved over the years from invited speakers to interactive panel forums composed of students from different backgrounds and ages and experts within the year’s given theme. Likewise, our students’ faces have changed from my vantage point on the other side of the desk and technology has replaced a sometimes more personal approach. Even the dining hall with its big coffee urns is now the Millstream and the coffee itself could more than likely be a latte. What hasn’t changed is that opportunity to hear that new approach on working, going to school, and raising a child from Heather in the second seat in row two or to listen as Chad in the back shares his thoughts on the beauty of rock. This is what that Campus Theme speaker meant when he said that here at Penn State Mont Alto, we have an opportunity to be.

I love the change of faces every semester and the new ideas that are shared and I love this job where I too can Jeremy Naugle On January 20, 2005, President Bush renewed his second term in office .

Some protesters released an antiwar banner at the ceremony, but were removed by police as the Bush supporters chanted “U-S-A.” There were protesters along the parade route with anti- Bush signs and antiwar posters calling for President Bush’s impeachment. The day was free from any major incidents. Bush alluded to the first reading of the Declaration of Independence and the ringing of the liberty bell. He quoted a witness as saying “It rang as if it meant something.” Bush went on to say, “ in our time it means something still. America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world, and to all the inhabitants thereof. Renewed in our strength— tested, but not weary—we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.”
