He is a professor of global health at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario and chair of the board of the Stephen Lewis Foundation in Canada. The foundation helps ease the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa by providing support at a grassroots level. But the self-effacing Lewis pushed aside all those titles last week. Noting the United Nations Millennium general assembly in 2000, Lewis said that many of the

peers had to offer. “The community aspect is an interesting and innovative piece of the program,” Tilghman said. “There’s a great energy in it.” Part of the innovative community aspect that impressed Tilghman was the required outside experience that students must complete during their second year.

He came to PLU because many of his friends were here, and he loved the warm, inviting nature of the campus. And he loved the breadth and range of a liberal arts education. “I think when you’re an undergrad it’s a time to expand your horizons, and a liberal arts education teaches you to think in every sense of the word.” Campbell relished his

Black calls his method “historical excavation,” and has used the same process in other books, such as British Petroleum and the Redline Agreement (2011) and War Against the Weak (2003, 2012). This year, Brad Pitt has optioned IBM and the Holocaust to produce a movie based on the book. But Black declined to discuss any movie deals off his books, and referred all questions to his agent.
