Odyssey explores
By Lyndsey Shinoda
Daily Forty-Niner
The mythical Greek
explorer Odysseus represents a voyage of discovery and adventure.
The Odyssey program, started in the 1996-1997 school year
at Cal State Long Beach, was named after the mythological
hero.
Each theme year
involves the campus and community in a year-long series of
well-known speakers, performances, films, events, field trips
and classes. The 2001-2002 theme, sponsored by the College
of Education, is "The Citizen: Rights, Roles, and Responsibilities.”
In the wake of
the tragic events of Sept. 11, the theme seems particularly
relevant to the community.
But, according
to Rachel Brophy, student programs director, the theme was
invented before the tragedies even occurred.
"They came up with
this theme last year, and didn't realize how meaningful it
would be,” Brophy said. "After 9/11, a lot of people
were questioning that [citizenship].”
For spring 2002,
the calendar is full of well-known speakers, including Judy
Shepard, who will relate her son Matthew's death to hate crimes
in America.
