Director's Message
MAY 2013
The latest in the salvo fired by pundits questioning the value of higher education is the book by William Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education and author of The Book of Virtues. Just published last month, Is College Worth It? challenges the presumption that anyone and everyone should get a degree. Simply put, the return on investment vs. the accumulation of debt yields a negative answer to the title question.
This month many will be graduated from colleges and universities. Whether their time on campus was worth it will depend on what they learned and what they (and we) value as "worth" when it comes to education.
Our objective at the Salesian Center is to facilitate the engagement of faith & culture as a "value-added" proposition for a DSU education. We hope the 18 graduating seniors in the ► Faith & Reason Honors Program and in the ► Ryan Leadership Institute will long attest to the worth of these special programs ... and we wish them success in all their endeavors.
Those educational programs are possible because our benefactors consider what we do to be very much "worth it." On behalf of our soon-to-be-graduates, we thank all our donors for supporting the higher education of the next generation through their ► sponsorship of our programs and activities.

"A specific priority is the need to examine the predominant values and norms of modern society and culture in a Christian perspective, and the responsibility to try to communicate to society those ethical and religious principles which give full meaning to human life."
