Sullivan’s address, titled “Four Tribes — One Mountain: An Invitation to Inter-Religious Dialogue,” was part of a convocation to launch Presbyterian’s new Southeastern Center for Intercultural Studies. The Center’s director will be PC chaplain Greg Henley, a 1974 Elon graduate and former Sullivan student.
Presbyterian College’s developing Southeastern Center for Intercultural Studies is an effort to provide a new and emerging South with educated leaders for an increasingly global society. It is a response to the economic, religious, cultural and ethnic issues surfacing in both the South and the world, and a program that will prepare students to meet those challenges. The center will offer studies that cut across a variety of disciplines. It will include foreign study opportunities, as well as intercultural encounters for students participating in Student Volunteer Services or the Multicultural Student Union. Plans include a proposed satellite center in Atlanta, allowing students to engage in a semester of study addressing historical, political, social and economic issues facing not only the Southeast, but also the entire world.
