A Distinguished Week!

Hi Dwight Hall!

This week Dwight Hall is honored to present the The Fall 2010 Curran Distinguished Mentor: Kevin Salwen
Thursday, September 23rd,  Dwight Hall Chapel, 4:00-5:00pm
Kevin Salwen is the author of The Power of Half and will discuss his family's decision to sell their house and give half the sales price to charity.
Kevin was a reporter, columnist and editor at the Wall Street Journal from 1981 to 2000. At the nations largest newspaper, Kevin helped cover two presidential administrations, wrote two columns and launched two publications. Since leaving the paper in 2000, Kevin built several media ventures and works with such organizations as the U.S. Olympic Committee and Yahoo!
A graduate of Northwestern University, Kevin serves on the boards of Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta and the East Africa Childrens Education Fund.
In 2006, at the urging of his then 14-year-old daughter Hannah, Kevin and his family embarked on a family philanthropic project to help villagers in Africa build a better future for themselves and their children.
Hope to see you there!
As always, if you have any questions about Dwight Hall, any one of our three networks, 85+ member groups or institutional programs, please ask me!
Also, Wednesday mornings are now a D-Holla tradition! So if you'd like to include your own content in the D-Holla, please get it to me by Tuesday night.
Hope all is well,
Joe
