Campus Champion

Andrew Fitz-Gibbon did not foresee becoming a U.S. citizen when he visited from his native England 17 years ago, but the chair of the College’s Philosophy Department recently did just that, alongside his wife and daughter. The pacifist minister, educator and author took a modified oath as a conscientious objector to war. Months of preparation and declarations from distinguished comrades further proved that this champion for peace and nonviolence lives what he teaches. The newly elected president of Concerned Philosophers for Peace, an international organization of philosophers, will give the presidential address in October at Mercer University in Macon, Ga.
