McGovern now serves as an ambassador to the UN. mbassador George S. McGovern kicked off the UVSC Inaugural Dialogues on Peace and Justice last Wednesday in the Ragan Theater. The topic of McGovern's speech, "The Third Freedom: Ending Hunger in Our Time," focuses on what Americans and students can do to end hunger globally, including the United States, within the next 15 years. McGovern, who was the presidential candidate opposite Richard Nixon in 1972, has visited over 1,000 college campuses in the United States spreading awareness andprovoking action in order to fight national and global hunger. He hopes there are young people at UVSC who are thinking about public service as a lifetime career. William Cobb, Dean of the School of HASS, hopes students will take a more active roll in figuring out how they can help in the fight against hunger versus sitting in a classroom and simply taking notes about hunger issues. "This will show students what it is they can do to eradicate hunger in the world ..'. and so students actually feel they can make a difference," Cobb said. SeeMcG0VERN-A3 Sen.

"This is the first time we have gone to our students for funds," said Jeri Allphin, Director of Alumni Relations on campus. This is another part in creating ways to provide more opportunities for students to attend college. The department awards 20 to'21 scholarships a semester.

The project "Giving of the Green" is planned to be held annually, and will likely continue to fall on or around St. Patrick's Day, in the spirit of green. Since this is the department's first try at this approach to raising money from students for students, Allphin said she had no basis to compare the outcome to, but said she would be happy if they just raise a $1000. The project is partnered with the UVSC Foundation Board who has agreed to match every dollar that "Giving of the Green" raises.
