World Conversations
February 17, 2009
Starting Thursday evening, Feb. 26, and continuing all-day Friday, Feb. 27, the Wang Center for International Programs will organize a World Conversations event for the 2008-2009 academic year.
The keynote speaker for Thursday will be Professor Chuck Bergman, who will be discussing his work in the Amazon on the illegal wildlife trade starting at 7 p.m. in CK.
On Friday the key note speaker will be Professor Colleen Hacker, who will be discussing her experiences as an Olympic coach at last summer’s games in China starting at 11:15 a.m. in CK.
The event will also include students and faculty sharing their international experiences from Tobago to Washington’s own Neah Bay. They will also discuss and have conversations about global issues and how those issues impact locations other than where they studied.
The presentations will follow the Friday class schedule, excluding the 8 a.m. class.
In addition to hearing about the several places students have visited over this academic year, dining services will offer an internationally themed dinner Thursday, in the UC.
