The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University will host speaker LouAnne Johnson, the real-life hero of the movie Dangerous Minds, on Thursday, May 2, 7:30 p.m., at the Benedicta Arts Center Auditorium on the CSB campus.

Her unique experiences will bring a quality motivational lecture to the students of CSB/S JU. Her compassion, energy, respect and strength will force you to look at the social problems which face many of today's youth. The topics she covers are consistent with the mission which CSB/ SJU tries to fulfill. To help incorporate the goals of the mission with her lecture, activities will be planned around the event for students to better process these ideas and make them a reality in our own community.
