Smith, a former NBC News journalist, announced in the spring that he would return to his alma mater to teach a class on curiosity. The seminar, titled “Commencement: The Beginning,” uses discussion, guest speakers, experiences and thought experiments to broaden students’ horizons and show them the connections they can make in the world.
Thompson is also teaching a class this semester, called “Leading a Problem-Solving Organization,” as an executive-in-residence. Before retiring he worked as vice president of Caterpillar Financial Services.
Those interested in tuning in can find the podcast on the Central College website.
