Ethics is Celebrated

Professor Lily Yeh and Robert Shetterly

Thanks to the generosity of Dennis Rezendes, Wednesday April 19 and Thursday, April 20 were days of celebrating the importance of ethics on the campus of the University of Maine.

On April 19, Professor Lily Yeh, of Philadelphia's University of the Arts and co-founder and emeritus Executive Director of The Village of Arts and Humanties, was on campus to speak as the 2006 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics.  She was introduced by Robert Shetterly, who included Professor Yeh within his collection of portraits and quotes, Americans Who Tell the Truth.  The John M. Rezendes Ethics Lecture was established to critically engage students, faculty members, and the surrounding community with ethical issues of national importance.
