Tonight at 8pm @IowaPublicTV is premiering the #documentary, 'George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Life'. The program covers Carver’s complexities & reveals the full impact of his life & work, including his time at #SimpsonCollege. bit.ly/2vO8kw5
Here is a little "sneak peek" of my @SimpsonCollege baccalaureate blessing as part of tonight's event.
Bonus points: anyone know where on campus this quote is found? -->
This documentary on George Washington Carver, airing Monday the 30th (8pm) on @IowaPublicTV, will be of great interest to alumni and friends of @SimpsonCollege.
