Guilford College will host Dr.
Severyn T. Bruyn, a professor of
sociology at Boston College on
March 29 and 30. Bruyn's areas of
knowledge and expertise include
the fields of social economy,
which involves the humane
organization of people within the
economic structure, social
policy, and community develop
ment.
The Dr. Bruyn's visit has been
arranged by Judy Harvey, direc

Dr. Bruyn will play an impor

Management, entails a new way
