While Americans are able to drink clean water from a faucet, there are millions around the world that do not have the luxury of the Clean Water Act.

Saint Leo University, known for its community service interlaced with steadfast and morale education, decided to take part in educating the public on this epidemic. On October 12th, Saint Leo University invited the former New York Times reporter Joseph B. Treaster to discuss the worldwide water crisis in his presentation.

Saint Leo University’s President Arthur F. Kirk, Jr. appeared on the regional public television program “Suncoast Business Forum,” hosted by Geoff Simon.

The half-hour interview, held last August, focused on Saint Leo University’s financial turnaround, today’s economy, and the business aspects of the higher education industry. Viewers also learned about Dr. Kirk’s turnaround successes at his two previous institutions.
