The Game of Life

Mellon Foundation, which focused on many Ivy League schools, schools in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), and other public and private colleges and universities. Its findings raised important questions about the impact of athletics on recruitment, admissions, the academic performance of athletes, and the allocation of resources at prestigious institutions like Wesleyan. Find out how The Game of Life has prompted Wesleyan to conduct its own self-assessment and to evaluate the place of intercollegiate athletics in Wesleyan's strategic plan.

Presenters: John Biddiscombe, Director of Athletics and Chair of the Physical Education Department; Judith Brown, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost; Nancy Hargrave Meislahn, Dean of Admission and Financial Aid; Joseph Rouse, Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Faculty; Moira James '78, Wesleyan Trustee, free-lance television producer (whose programs include coverage of politics, health, and sports) and an avid sportswoman (who earned varsity letters in athletics while at Wesleyan)

WESEMINAR 28
The Death Penalty: Is the Tide Turning?
In recent years, the United States has been virtually alone among western democracies in carrying out executions, despite criticisms of racial disparities, uneven access to lawyers, and the unfair application to juveniles and the mentally impaired. Now in the wake of scientific evidence freeing some innocent people on death row, the tide has begun to turn. The governor of Illinois has declared a statewide moratorium on executions and a number of conservatives have begun to question the fairness of capital punishment. Meet parents, alumni, and faculty who are on the frontlines of this important issue.

WESEMINAR 29
The Afghanistan America Doesn't Know

Since September 11, American news coverage has focused on Afghanistan and its role as a home for terrorists and terrorist training. We have seen daily reports of bombing raids, missions into mountain caves, and diplomatic efforts to create a viable interim government. But what do we really know of the country and its people? What are the untold stories about civilian casualties, the fate of children who have suffered two decades of conflict, and the fate of women who even after the Taliban remain under male domination? Hear an American journalist talk about these issues and more, and the challenge of reporting in a war zone when colleagues die and a bounty is placed on your head.

Presenter: W. Randall Pinkston '72, P '05, CBS News Correspondent, recently covering the conflict in Afghanistan; other foreign conflict assignments include Haiti, Iraq, and Albania

Dreaming Me: One Scholar's Spiritual Journey
Jan Willis has stories to tell. As a teenager, she witnessed a Ku Klux Klan cross-burning ritual in her own front yard. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Birmingham, Alabama, and went on to become one of only eight African American students at Cornell University in 1965. Shaped by these experiences and deeply committed to peace, she later immersed herself in the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, which advocate compassion and wisdom. Now hailed by Time magazine as one of its top religious innovators for the new millennium, Professor Willis will read from her recent memoir, recounting her "steps along the path."

Presenter: Jan Willis, Wesleyan Professor of Religion and Walter A. Crowell Professor of Social Sciences, author of Dreaming Me: An African American Woman's Spiritual Journey

WESEMINAR 34
Success on the Big Screen: 
Behind the Scenes in Hollywood
As armchair movie critics, we are often quick to judge the latest film's success or failure. From writing to directing, from acting to cinematography, we evaluate a film's ability to create a believable make-believe world and to educate us, entertain us, or just make us think beyond the moment. But what really goes into successful filmmaking? Is there a magic formula? Hear successful alumni talk about their experiences in the film industry and what they do to bring movies to the big screen.

Moderator: Jeanine D. Basinger, Corwin-Fuller Professor of Film Studies, Curator of the Cinema Archives, Chair of the Film Studies Program, and 1996 recipient of the Binswanger Prize for Excellence in Teaching

America in 2010: On Top of the World-or Lost Empire?
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been challenged to turn its immense power into lasting influence. But we must do so in a globalizing society where the private sector and nongovernmental organizations rival governments in authority, where we are newly vulnerable to terrorism and other challenges, and where our leadership abroad is still needed-but also where our leaders and the American people may not want to provide it. How do we help shape the world we would like to live in during the next decade and beyond? Where do we want to go-and what is a plan to get us there?

Presenter: Robert E. Hunter '62, Wesleyan Trustee Emeritus, Senior Fellow at RAND, and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO (1993-1998)

Civil Warriors

After meeting plaintiff's lawyer Ron Motley in the summer of 1994, Dan Zegart '77 realized he had found a fascinating central character for a potential book about a group of quixotic lawyers ready to sue the hitherto impregnable tobacco industry. Zegart hit the road with Motley, crisscrossing the country for five years, covering seven trials in five states. Zegart became intimately acquainted with the tobacco men, whistleblowers, and soldiers of legal fortune who became the key figures in the book Civil Warriors. Find out why the $200 billion settlement from cigarette makers surprised Zegart, and what long-term impact he expects it to have on big tobacco and millions of nicotine addicts.

WESEMINAR 39
Idealistic Entrepreneur-Modern Activist
Being an entrepreneur is not necessarily at odds with being an idealist. Socially conscious entrepreneurs operate much like their traditional business counterparts and are continually mindful of the bottom line. What distinguishes idealistic entrepreneurs is their overriding belief that their work must also contribute to the greater good of society. And while they are proud of their professional activism, they know they must always be wary of the temptation to "sell out."

Presenters: Jonah Sachs '97, Director of Operations and Cofounder of Free Range Graphics, a Washington, D.C.-based communications design firm that works for companies and organizations whose vision goes beyond turning the world into a strip mall, including Amnesty International, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Nature Conservancy, and Planned Parenthood; Alexander Scott '87, co-founder, In Pursuit of Tea, a company which prides itself in offering the finest teas from around the world, while supporting primarily small farmers who use organic and chemical-free growing and processing methods
