12 13 Terry Moore Home: New York, NY. Profession or background: I dropped out of Ohio University in my junior year. The lack of an undergraduate degree did not, however, prevent me from entering the MBA program at Harvard University. But I dropped out of there, too. Eventually, conceding that a college degree was a good thing to have, I returned to Ohio University and received a Bachelor in General Studies, which I figured would permit me to be an expert on everything. Now, having become an expert on everything, I did the next logical thing— became a management consultant. Establishing my own consulting firm in 1982, I spent the next 20 years doing unusual research, strategy, and ideation, mostly for large corporations and mostly for large sums of money. In 2002, I retired and married my college sweetheart, Lynn Shostack (also a member of the Ohio Fellows Program), and moved to New York City. I now spend my time as director of the Radius Foundation, which was established to pursue my interest in multiple ways of knowing and to seek ways of overcoming the conceptual paradigms that, I think, limit too many first-rate thinkers and their ideas. Last Book Read: “The Island of the Day Before” by . Hobbies: Philosophy, religion and consciousness. Why I Support Alden Library: Alden Library is what I think a library should be. It is not simply an information depository—it is an active part of the University community. Alden Library provides both an access to information and an intellectual and social nexus for the community. It’s alive. Why can’t more libraries be like this one?
