That's nice that Yo-Yo Ma went to Asbury Towers. What would have made a real difference is if DePauw had coordinated with the local school corporations to have Yo-Yo Ma perform at a local school and invite other schools in the county, or hold a special concert for students on campus during the day. He could have given his talk and performance for students and been a real inspiration. DPU has known for a long time that he would be here--which would have given the schools plenty of time to plan a local field trip to the DPU campus. DePauw wants to know how they can be part of the community. Get involved with the community and include the schools when you have someone of Yo-Yo Ma's stature. DePauw missed the boat on this one.
