George T. Hunter Lecture Series: Watch John Merrow Tuesday, June 09, 2009
On March 3, John Merrow, education correspondent for the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, sat down in Chattanooga to discuss the future of education in America. A life-long educator, Merrow has taught at the junior high, high school, college, and graduate level. He is founder and president of Learning Matters, a non-profit, award-winning production company focused on producing outstanding reporting about American education.
Merrow’s lecture, part of the George T. Hunter Lecture series, focused on the recession, and what needs to happen in public education if schools are to stay afloat. Today, that lecture is available for everyone.
The George T. Hunter Lecture series is made possible through support from the Benwood Foundation, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, and CreateHere, and all events are free and open to the public.
Stay tuned for details on the next George T. Hunter Lecture, featuring Van Jones, president and founder of Green for All. For more information on this series, visit www.benwood.org
