Martenson’s presentation is part of the Think Differently Forum, which exposes College of Charleston students to a topic in business, politics, international affairs or culture that has societal importance and interest. The Forum represents the minority point of view on that specific topic, challenging the mainstream opinion and assumptions of the campus community. The purpose is to facilitate and inspire open-minded debates among the College of Charleston community.
