Watch OnlineHigher Education is a money-maker! – A recent study released by ARCHE [the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education] shows that Metro Atlanta's colleges and universities have a $10.8 billion total economic impact and provide nearly 130,000 jobs in Georgia - and that's just the headlines! Joining us to discuss the findings are Mike Gerber, President of ARCHE and Lisa Rossbacher, President of Southern Polytechnic State University. Also this week: Hooray for video-games! – Apparently all the news is not negative. Video game expert Dr. Ian Bogost in Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Communication and Culture, views the genre on a par with literature, as a positive educational exercise. He joins us to discuss his work. Next week: Griffin Bell: A Conversation. Bell's experience in the legal profession spans nearly six decades. As an attorney, a judge, and the nation's seventy-second attorney general, he helped to chart desegregation, affirmative action, and environmental protection. Bell talked to Susan Hoffman about his life, his career and his continuing love of the law.
