  • inian news April 21,1999 Student Group Visits Carter f Library and Carter Center The front lawn of the Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta, Georgia. by Mike Poston Contributing Writer Eleven students from the Political Science Department's American Presidency class visited the Jimmy Carter Library and Carter Center in Atlanta on Tuesday, April 11. The purpose of the trip was to give students the opportunity to visit a presidential library. The trip also allowed students to meet the people at the Carter Center and hear about the Carter Center's involvement in international affairs. Dr. C. Don Livingston, professor of the class, said "the group had a wonderful trip and that it was a great opportunity for the students to be able to visit a presidential library." The Carter Library collects material about the former President and Mrs. Carter as well as top advisors of the Carter administration. The library also collects material of close personal friends of the Carter's. After the material is reviewed for restrictions it is open to the public for research. Researchers are referred to local libraries if the information they seek is not found exclusively at the library. Scott Ebert, a political science student, said "the most interesting thing about the trip was being exposed to the personal part of Carter's life." He added, "The trip was outstanding. I recommend it to others." The Carter Center's purpose is "guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and alleviation of human suffering; it seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health," accordin to the Center's website. The Carter Center is involved in the international and human rights scene. The Center address difficult problems in the international community. Some of the issues they address are fair elections in foreign countries, providing health care in Third World states, and river blindness.
