HUNTINGTON, Ind. On March 19, the Forester Lecture Series' faculty lecture will explain how a transformative Christian liberal arts education is more than just a commodity: It life-changing as well as a means for preparing individuals for a life of work and service in a world of flux.

At 7 p.m. in the Zurcher Auditorium of the Merillat Centre for the Arts, Dr. Paul Michelson and Dr. Dwight Brautigam, Huntington University history professors, will discuss "More Just a Commodity: The Case for Christian Liberal Arts Education."

The Forester Lecture Series is designed to bring interesting individuals and topics to the attention of students and the regional community. The lecture is free and open to the public.
