NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Honors will host a lecture by its former director, Dr. Allen Richman, professor emeritus of history, at 3 p.m. March 13, in the McKibben Education Building, Room 131.

Richman, the 2006-07 Regents Professor, will present "For Faith and Fortune - The Significance of the First Crusade: 1095-1099." He will discuss the history of the crusade and its lasting significance on the world.

Dr. Michael Tkacik, School of Honors director, is excited to have Richman back on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ campus. "[Richman] is an engaging lecturer, one of the best I've ever seen," Tkacik said. "He is entertaining even as he covers his subject matter in scholarly detail. I think this event is a great opportunity for current students to hear from one of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ's most skilled professors emeriti."

Richman began teaching at Stephen F. Austin State College in 1965. He was among the original organizers of the School of Honors program.

"Allen played a central role in institutionalizing the School of Honors as well as dramatically increasing its size," Tkacik said, "but his students will remember him most for being a caring advisor who helped them achieve their dreams."

This event is free and open to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and Nacogdoches communities. Refreshments will be provided.
