Gordon College Homecoming & Family Weekend 2018

Join Matt Doll, Director of Gordon IN Orvieto for a Scot Talk as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Orvieto program.

The centerpoint of education can be like an enclosed garden—a space that improves vision, invites dialogue and leads one out into the world with wisdom and true compassion for others. In order to do this, one has to be willing to leave behind what is familiar and be ready to surrender control.

Having taught for 15 years abroad, first in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and now in Italy, Matthew Doll will be sharing how the Orvieto program has become a place where teaching the arts and humanities, in a foreign setting, uniquely centralizes the aim of the curriculum by inviting students and faculty to form a living learning community of deep trust, genuine presence and service.
