stellar career in higher education, including nine years as president of Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. He is Founding President of The American University of Vietnam. His
experience in that country, post-war and prosperous, multi-cultural and
engaging, has given him many compelling stories to tell. A reception at 5:30 precedes the lecture.
In addition to journal
articles, Nirschel most recently published a book, My Seasons in Saigon. Keenly interested in interfaith exploration, he is a founding director of the Foundation for Universal Spirituality.
