Lighthouse
Isn’t every classroom – from Pre-K to Post-Grad a – “Lighthouse”?
Here are the elements they have in common
- Safe Harbor
- Inside – diversity, on high display
- Beacons – for purposes of good navigation
- Observation – places of 360 degree views, from high-up
- Curiosity – Who doesn’t want to climb higher? learn more?
- Stability & Structure – physically, built to withstand adverse forces
- Curiosity – What’s outside the Harbor?
- Security & Safety – If I venture outside, will it help me return?
- Trust – What’s more important than that?
And, perhaps, the most powerful reason of all: PUBLICITY! How better to knit all these components together? Not just as a “stunt”. But built to last well into the next Century. {Please see the images and articles about Ford Motor Company, – twice – putting a Mustang on the Observation Deck of the Empire State Building (196 & April 2014); also see the images and stories about the Joey Harringon seven story billboard in Manhattan – that cost Nike $250,ooo. — and, according to Advertising Age, generated $4 million in publicity.)
Does a Lighthouse belong on a University campus? Even one that is 100 miles from the Sea?,
Absolutely!!!
Where else to better capture the vast array of intellectual resources, energy, passion and motivation than on a university campus?
