Leslie Brown Professor of History December 2, 1954 – August 5, 2016 A Memorial Gathering Main Stage, Class of ’62 Center for Theatre and Dance Saturday, September 17, 2016 4:00 p.m. Reception - After this gathering, all are invited next door to the Faculty House, where our remembrances of Leslie will continue at a reception hosted by the Dean of the Faculty and the Department of History. The always-elegant fare provided by Dining Services caterers will be supplemented by additional items that were among Leslie's favorite foods and to which, early in her life, she had a professional relationship - at McDonald's. Reflections - There is a guest book available, here at the '62 Center and at the Faculty House, in which you're encouraged to sign your name, and inscribe a reflection on Leslie's life and work if you like. There will also be an opportunity to record a memory or story on video in a side room at the Faculty House. These collections of reflections will be added to the College Archives - as befits the legacy of a scholar of oral history. Remembering Daring Change - In 2013, while marking the fiftieth anniversary of a transformative era under Williams’ 11th President, Jack Sawyer, the College recorded a series of short talks on the theme, Daring Change: Imagining Williams' Future. Leslie Brown gave one of the most memorable of those talks - "Embracing Conflict and Change." Her talk can be viewed in the downstairs Lounge at the Faculty House throughout the reception. It's also available on line: http://www.williams.edu/daring-change/.
