Dr. Sanford Ungar's visit to Pathways School Noida

Dr. Sanford Ungar - A published author, International Journalist and the president of Goucher College lectured the Senior School on the 19th of January in the Multi Purpose Hall. It would be an understatement that everybody including the faculty was very excited to listen to him speak. Not only because he is a celebrity of sorts, but also, many students of our school are applying to Goucher, a reputed Liberal Arts University in the United States.
Dr. Ungar who also teaches the ‘Freedom of Speech’ course at Goucher College to Incoming Freshmen, did exactly that! He talked about what Free Speech meant to people inj the 21st Century. He cited radically different but surprisingly similar examples which although, were completely unrelated, were the similar in essence.
Dr. Ungar also took questions from the students and had discussions with Ammarah Khalid and Partha Sharma. The students gave highly interesting points of view which brought different aspects to the whole discussion. Dr. Ungar also talked about the thing closest to his heart – National Security - on which he has written multiple books.
All in all, the whole school enjoyed and learnt from Dr. Ungar’s lecture and we would love to have more distinguished speakers like him lecture the students.
