(Princeton University, 1979), and master’s and doctoral degrees (University of Arizona 1982, 1986). His expertise is in studies of groundwater systems, and he has published in both technical and educational literature. Over the past decade, Silliman has led field student programs dealing with groundwater in both Haiti and Benin, West Africa. He received the 2006 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE Teaching Award, Illinois/Indiana section), the 2006 Global Engineering & Engineering Technology Educator Award (ASEE international division), and a number of awards at Notre Dame, including multiple teaching awards, the 2002 Grenville Clark Award, the 2004 Rev. Toohey Award, and the 2007 Ganey Award. Lectures Beyond the Technology, Seeking Successful Water Development in Africa Categories Engineering, Notre Dame Silliman has been active in water-related development projects in Benin, West Africa for more than a decade. This lecture discusses several of his development projects, leading to observations on the need for long term commitment, integration of technical and social sciences, and local partnering as critical components leading to success in projects such as drilling of rural wells or protecting water sources from contamination. He also addresses multiple viewpoints on the potential contributions of current Notre Dame students, and alumni from diverse disciplines in addressing international development challenges. Water Development in West Africa: Field Experiences with Undergraduate and Graduate Students Silliman discusses his efforts related to providing drinking water in Benin, West Africa. This program provides educational, research, and service experience for Notre Dame undergraduate and graduate students. Student experiences include living and working with the Beninese people on projects including drilling new wells for drinking water, helping local populations monitor drinking water quality, and helping protect critical water resources of the major city in Benin. The keys to success in these efforts has been long-term commitment to professional and personal friendships with our partners in Benin. The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2012 Program 103

White Director, Center for Ethics and Culture; Associate Professor, Philosophy Biography David Solomon has been a member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame since 1968. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas, and conducted postdoctoral research at Oxford University, where he was a National Endowment for the Humanities fellow from 1972 to 1973, and a fellow of Brasenose College from 1987 to 1988. He was a Milbank Research fellow in Bioethics at Boston University from 1975 to 1977. Solomon teaches and writes both in ethical theory and in the more applied area of medical ethics. In addition to other scholarly writings, he is a co-editor of the first interdisciplinary study of the Roe v. Wade abortion decision, Abortion and Social Policy, and he has been a contributor to both the Encyclopedia of Bioethics (1980) and the new Encyclopedia of Ethics (1992). Currently he is at work on a monograph examining the recent revival of neo-Aristotelian approaches to ethics. Since 1999, he has been the W.P. and H.B. White Director of the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture. Lectures The Crisis in American Medicine: Is There Any Hope for Meaningful Health Care Reform? This lecture examines the causes for the crisis, considers alternative proposals for the reform of our medical system, and discusses the path to a medical care system that is both just and efficient. Special attention will be paid to the reforms in the 2010 Healthcare Reform Bill. Morality, Medicine, and the New Millennium This lecture reflects on the problems in medical ethics that will dominate public discussion in the next few decades. What are these problems? How can we best respond to them? Special attention will be paid to re-organizing healthcare, end-of-life issues, reproductive issues, and the challenge of the new genetics. Physician-Assisted Suicide: a Bad Idea for Both Doctors and Patients This lecture looks at the arguments recently given for legalizing physician-assisted suicide. It examines why so many people have become convinced that physician-assisted suicide increases patient autonomy and self-determination. He examines those considerations traditionally brought against allowing physicians to assist actively in ending the lives of their patients. He argues that there are overwhelming moral, political, and medical reasons for continuing to prohibit physician-assisted suicide. 104 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2012 Program Categories Ethics, Government, Social Concerns
