Respondez! Vol. 6

Abstract

Respondez! (1992-2015) became Respond, starting with the 2016 issue. Respondez! is a poem written by Walt Whitman in 1871 as a call to action. The Respond staff interprets Whitman’s poem as a call for new, emerging ideas to be brought fourth and challenged. The journal embodies Walt Whitman’s poem by aiming to publish informative research that challenges mainstream assumptions.
The 1996-97 Respondez! is dedicated to Dr. Francis Gillen, the founder and director of The University of Tampa's Honors Program from 1983 -1996. Thank you for 13 years of inspiration.
"Implied in the philosophy of Honors at the University of Tampa is the desire to stand at the boundary between the known and the unknown, the perceived and the barely-perceived needs and values in our society, between a centered and yet always open and growing self. To'give voice to that which because of our prevalent mindset is naw voiceless, shape to what naw goes unseen, strength and life to that which is crushed and unempawered : this is the creative task to which our Honors Leaming community commits itself."
Dr. Francis Gillen
