Herbert B. Asher, professor emeritus of political science and counselor to the university president at the Ohio State University, will present a Bicentennial lecture May 22 at 7:45 p.m. in Irvine Hall. Speaking on "A Changing Society: The New World Economy, Energy, Globalization, and the Environment," Asher will explore how Ohio historically has managed the opportunities and challenges presented by a transition from a traditional to the new economy.

The center helps students, teachers, scholars and the general public explore human experiences in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.
