About
In her 2020 Community Day address, President Debra A. Schwinn drew attention to “deep-seated fissures in our increasingly polarized society” and a prevalence of frustration between those with different viewpoints and opinions. “Anxiety is everywhere,” she noted. As a practical way forward, Schwinn offered encouragement and added a new word to the PBA lexicon: Wordship.
This new term joins another pair of PBA traditions: Worship and Workship – the latter referring to the University’s signature community service program, initiated by PBA’s inaugural first lady Doris Moody. “Three amazing words and processes: Worship, Workship, and Wordship,” Schwinn said. “What a wonderful foundation upon which PBA can build.”
