After a demoralising introduction to academic study, Roberty Schooler left Cornell and later returned to complete his degree. It still didnt work out the way he expected, however, and so he now plans to run his own course at Cornell. The first lecture, on Wed. Sept 7th 2016, will be delivered by Frances Moore Lappe, celebrated author of *Diet for a Small Planet*. Tune in! Best wishes Please share this article if you like it and apologies for cross posting.

The Corbyn Model of Leadership Of all the people currently in leadership positions in a major political party anywhere in the world, Jeremy Corbyn is the only one who shows the potential of being a leader who could begin to manage successfully the complex problems that all of our societies have to face in the coming decades.
