NE schedules speakers, activities for semester

 Speakers from a variety of backgrounds highlight the NE Campus student activities schedule for the spring semester.
During black history month Joyce King, author of Hate Crime: The Story of a Dragging in Jasper, Texas, will discuss her research Wednesday, Feb. 11.
King is a native Texan and an award-winning journalist.
“I Believe I Can Fly,” a success story, will be given Wednesday, Feb. 25, by Ted Williams, criminal defense attorney and former Washington, D.C., homicide detective.
Williams grew up in a life of prejudice and discrimination and will talk about his own personal tribulations during his encounters and his path to success.
On March 25-26, Living Literature will feature writer Rick Bass. Born in Fort Worth, Bass says he gained an early love for the natural world, partly from the influence of his father, a geologist.
Co-sponsored by the English department, the award-winning author will read from his works and make presentations to students on writing.
In preparation for his visit, English students will read his book The Hermit’s Story, a collection of short stories about the magical and mythical connection between man and nature.
All campus organizations will provide an outdoor Spring Fest with live entertainment, music and food for NE Campus students Wednesday, April 14.
