The Center for Global studies is a research center at PUC which hosted a presentation entitled "How Do We Rotate Objects in Our Mind?" Yahya R. Kamlipour, head of the organization, has a goal of bringing together communication, history, and political science, which commonly connects researchers nationally and internationally.

The center is in pursuit of finding fresh information about practices and strategies in education that will give them breakthroughs in teaching. This information will enable them to inspire students and infuse this into the curriculum for students at PUC.

The Center for Global Studies wants to establish itself as a national resource with an international reputation for the study of globalization across disciplines. This presentation was one of the stepping stones towards that goal.

Held in the SUL and open to the public, this presentation seminar touched base on how we use imagery, what imagery does for the world and how the world develops civilizations from it. There were many PUC students that attended, but when Kamalipour asked some of them why they were attending and if this topic interested them, they responded with "I'm here for a class." Others were there for the sole purpose of taking notes for extra credit.

Piotr Francuz was the presentation speaker who was in the U.S. for the first time in twenty years. Francuz said that imagery is the most powerful intellectual force of the human being. Learning how to use your mental capabilities is one thing, but learning how to use them for a bigger purpose is another, he said.

"We are here because of imagery." said Francuz. "A lot of things that are in our world today we have because of imagery."

Most of our 3-D structures come from imagery, Francuz added. He defined imagery as being a mental process of "seeing," "hearing," "touching," and testing things that are currently being perceived by the sense organs.

Francuz has been broadcasting on television since 1995 and is a lecturer, trainer, and consultant who loves figuring out how the mind works and just how deep it goes.
