Dr. Jim Mannoia is well known to the thousands of students passing through Greenville University in the first decade of this century. As president, his regular chapel and convocation talks, combined current and campus events with the challenging events of his personal life woven into his passionate philosophy of Christian liberating arts education. The talks were about life, and bridged many worlds. He was a “missionary kid” in Brazil, trained in laser physics at M.I.T., drove taxis in Boston, worked with drug addicts in Hillbrow, South Africa, shifted to metaphysics for a Ph.D., taught physics in Pennsylvania, then philosophy for 15 years at Westmont College. For two years he was professor at the University of Zimbabwe. Finally, as he puts it, he “went over to the dark side,” becoming first the Academic Vice-President at Houghton College and eventually President at Greenville. After retirement, he consulted around the world including in Iraq, South Africa, and for the government of Rwanda. He lives in Santa Barbara, California.lihat lebih sedikit
