January 10, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - Filmmaker, lecturer and trainer Lee Mun Wah will come to the DePauw campus on Monday, January 15, to University's Martin Luther King Day Convocation. Mun Wah will present a workshop, "An Unfinished Conversation," in a program that begins at noon and will conclude at 4 p.m. in the Lilly Center. The program is free and open to all.

Participants in "An Unfinished Conversation" will view a short film and then break off into small discussion groups. Lee Mun Wah is the executive director and founder of StirFry Seminars. The company's philosophy states, "individuals need to interact and to learn from each other. We believe alliances can be built when people engage in open and honest dialogue. As individuals learn what has kept them apart, they can develop new ways of working cooperatively by creating new models of shared resources and perspectives."
