Oglethorpe Day speaker Carrie Hessler-Radelet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mark your calendars for this year’s\u00a0Oglethorpe Day<\/a>\u00a0celebration on February 14!\u00a0\u00a0Held annually, the Oglethorpe Day tradition honors our university\u2019s namesake,\u00a0James Edward Oglethorpe,<\/strong>\u00a0and commemorates the anniversary of General Oglethorpe\u2019s\u00a0arrival in the “new world”<\/a>\u00a0in Savannah, Georgia.<\/p>\n

Festivities begin with the breathtaking Petrels of Fire race. Modeled after the race in the movie\u00a0Chariots of Fire<\/a>, a select group of Oglethorpe students runners circle\u00a0the quad in hopes of making a full lap before the carillon bells\u2019 twelfth and final chime. This amazing feat has only been accomplished\u00a0one time<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Then the crowd, traditionally led by a bagpiper, processes to the Conant Performing Arts Center to hear from a special guest speaker who reflects the ideals of our namesake. This year, we welcome\u00a0Carrie Hessler-Radelet<\/strong><\/a>, President & CEO of Project Concern International<\/a>, a global development organization working with families and communities to enhance health, end hunger and overcome hardship in 16 countries. Hessler-Radelet formerly served as the Director of the Peace Corps from 2012 to 2017.<\/p>\n

Later, Hessler-Radelet will meet directly with Oglethorpe classes studying topics related to her mission, including public health, ecology, nonprofit management, politics, and civic engagement.<\/p>\n
