What you're talking about is a panel discussion, which certainly has value. But it's also a lot more work than would be feasible for our near-literal grass-roots introductory presentation, since to be fair we'd need to find at least 20 different people to show the scope of modern Neo-Paganism. Even with that representatives would have to talk about religions not their own. I am (Solitary Irish ) Wiccan, but I'm not Alexandrian Wiccan or Dianic Wiccan, and while mentioning these I couldn't give a horse's mouth view. The same with Mike, representing Druids, talking about Keltria or Romantic Revivalism, since those aren't his paths.
People will still be able to talk about their own faiths. After my two-sentence definitions of roughly 25 different religions, I'm sure someone will say, "Asatru sounds interesting. Could you tell me a little more about it?" and then Christine could speak up. It won't just be me talking. :-)
If there are enough students next year who want to keep PSA going, then plans could be made for a panel discussion on different Pagan religions for Winter Quarter.
