TESTIMONIALS

“Rich Benjamin’s visit was a huge hit.  Benjamin gave a terrific talk.  He has a knack for raising very sensitive issues in a way that gets beyond tired polarities but that doesn't muffle the key issues of justice and the common good. Plus, he's a great story-teller and he's got a great story to tell.”
~~ David DeCosse, Santa Clara University (CA)

This was eye opening for me personally and also will become an important element of my teaching.’”
