Sharon Isbin performs for WAIS
Grammy Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin will be
performing Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Walton Arts
and Ideas Series. Isbin has been called “the preeminent solo guitarist
of our time,” and her performances have been described not just
as an evening of music, but as a “whirlwind tour of the globe.”
This musical world tour will introduce the audience
members to folk-inspired music from the Appalachian Mountains, Ireland,
Greece, Israel, Spain, Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazil. The performance
has been described as “joyous,” “vibrant,” and “the
next best thing to traveling the world yourself.” As always, faculty,
staff and students can receive one free ticket to the performance.
SIFE Sponsors Baldor
Speaker
On October 18, SIFE and the Baldor Executive-in-Residence
program brought a very special and highly respected speaker to the Ozarks
campus, Donald G. Soderquist, Senior Vice Chairman-Retired of Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. Soderquist was greeted by a full Baldor Auditorium and
he delivered a message that was important to him — In order to
be a successful business person, you have to be a good family member,
but most importantly you have to be a good son or daughter of God.
The event was open to all faculty, staff and students,
as well as the public. Many important guests were in attendance to hear
the message that Mr. Soderquist delivered. Some of those in attendance
included Mrs. Helen Walton, Drs. Rollie and Judy Boreham, and Dr. R.L.
