by Pat Anfinson
March 8, 2007

Buntrock Commons, Viking Theater, 7:30 p.m.

David Schodt, professor of economics and Director of the Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts will give the Spring Mellby Lecture. The lecture is titled, "Commodity Connections: Latin America and the United States."

Schodt has served as a professor at St. Olaf College since 1977. His teaching responsibilities include microeconomics, economic development, and various courses on Latin America. He is currently working on issues involving technology and teaching undergraduate economics.

In honoring Carl A. Mellby, a professor of European history as well as economics, sociology and political science, with a lecture series in his name, the College also honors his successors on the faculty that reflect on the significance of their scholarly work and developments in their academic fields. Mellby lecturers exemplify the liberal arts education to which St. Olaf College is committed: excellence marked by comprehensiveness, intellectual seriousness and creativity within the context of a concern for the interrelationships and communication. The Faculty Development Committee chooses Mellby lecturers from nominations made by members of the faculty.
