Dr. Richard Leo Twiss joined Gordon for Beyond Colorblind Week '13 to share with us his culture and faith. Sadly, two weeks after leaving Gordon Dr. Twiss suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. Before leaving Gordon, we had the distinct pleasure of recording him sharing his views on leadership. This video was used by Val Buchanan (Office of Community Engagement) and Jorge Juan Rodriguez V '14 in a workshop at Gordon's annual Lead Conference titled "Three Past and Three Future: Learning from the late Richard Twiss."

May this reflection serve as a continual reminder of the Twiss Legacy and the blessings he was to the Gordon community.

In loving memory of Taoyate Obnajin ("He Stands with His People").

After following everything I could find of Richard's , I am so grateful that I heard his teachings which feed my Jewish Christian soul and eternal spirit. I look forward to meeting him someday, in the great beyond.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Richard Twiss. I had not heard until now. I greatly admired him and he has had an effect on this white woman of no american Indian heritage.

'Siyo (hello)! Many thanks for posting this video of my friend. It makes me miss him terribly, but also makes me proud of him. Not only was he wise and articulate but he was a really good guy... Donadagohvi, unalii...

In Christ, YOU have value, but to get rid of repect for individualism, YOU don't have value! The group has value but you don't. Well the group has no value either because the group is a construct. You are real, community is abstract. You are humble and are of service to others rather than self servitude. But you have to care for your individual self as well as your neighbor to follow Christ!
