Podcast appearances and mentions of Carol T Christ

“Though the pandemic is taking so much of our energy right now in addressing it, there will be a day after. And institutions, organizations of any sort, have to have a very clear sense of what their mission and goals are in that day after.” As the 11th Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley – and the first woman to hold that position – Carol Christ helms what U.S. News and World Report considers the world's best public university. She sees her role as requiring both the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances as well as the steadiness to adhere to the university's core values.  “There's a very moving moment in The Lord of the Rings,” she tells Mike, “where Frodo says to Gandalf, ‘I wish I had not lived in these times.' And Gandalf says back to Frodo, ‘So do we all, but what we need to do, how we'll be judged, is what we do with the moment that's given us.' And that's what I feel.”

David Horowitz Freedom Center Releases Report on “The Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror” Campuses include Columbia, UCLA, Tufts, Kent State and George Mason University leaders from prestigious American campuses including UCLA, Columbia University, Kent State University, Tufts University, and the University of Chicago are among those cited by the David Horowitz Freedom Center as the “Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror” in a new report.

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) receives university funding and institutional support from America's preeminent universities. It derives credibility from this collegiate sponsorship, and it is common for university departments and academic centers to co-sponsor its events and speakers and for college professors to participate in its programs. Even when SJP chapters repeatedly violate campus rules prohibiting the disruption of campus events (usually pro-Israel events) or when its members chant genocidal slogans, use hateful slurs, and commit violence against Jewish students on campus, university presidents and administrations repeatedly ignore or forgive these hostile, discriminatory and unlawful acts. The report exposes ten presidents and chancellors of prominent American universities who have “renounced their duty to protect the welfare of all students on their campus by allowing the hateful, pro-terrorist rhetoric and actions of SJP to proceed unchecked.” In alphabetical order by institution, the ten university leaders and campuses are: Lee Bollinger, Columbia University; Angel Cabrera, George Mason University; Beverly Warren, Kent State University; Leslie Wong, San Francisco State University; Anthony Monaco, Tufts University; Carol T. Christ, University of California-Berkeley; Howard Gillman, University of California-Irvine; Gene Block, University of California Los Angeles; Robert Zimmer, University of Chicago; and Renu Khator, University of Houston. As has been revealed in congressional testimony, Students for Justice in Palestine is a campus front for Hamas terrorists. SJP's propaganda activities are orchestrated and funded by a Hamas front group, American Muslims for Palestine, whose chairman is Hatem Bazian and whose principals are former officers of the Holy Land Foundation and other Islamic “charities” previously convicted of funneling money to Hamas, which is

The Global Issues Panel brought notable alumnae together to discuss contemporary global issues such as poverty, health, economics, the environment, education, war, and human rights.

Smith has long placed a high value on teaching and welcomes the establishment of the Sherrerd Prize as a visible symbol of its commitment and dedication to superior pedagogy. "Smith College has traditionally emphasized the importance of dynamic, diverse and interactive teaching in imparting the principles of the sciences and liberal arts to its high-achieving students," said President Carol T. Christ. "The college considers the teaching of its students to be among its most essential objectives as a leading institution of women's education."

Smith College, Hampshire College and the Tibetan Association of Western Massachusetts welcomed the 14th Dalai Lama to the Pioneer Valley on Wednesday, May 9, 2007. This momentous visit by the leader of the Tibetan people and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize recognizes the colleges’ thriving exchange program with exiled Tibetan scholars in India. Years ago, Hampshire began the Five College Tibetan Studies in India Program, and since then the Dalai Lama has followed its growth as Smith collaborated with Hampshire to sustain the annual academic exchange. Smith President Carol T. Christ and Hampshire President Ralph J. Hexter hosted the daylong visit, during which the Dalai Lama delivered a talk to thousands of students, faculty, staff and invited guests from the two colleges and the Tibetan community.
