Upcoming Events
|
March is World Languages Month, and the World Languages Organization has a number of events planned. Click here for a complete list of those events. I will be offering extra credit for my students that attend the presentation "The Wise Latina" (Monday, March 15th, 2-3pm in A300) and the film showing of "Viva la Causa" (Wednesday, March 31st, 2:30-4 pm in the Cultural Center). March is also Women's History Month, and a number of presentations will be given around this year's theme of "Writing Women Back Into History". Click here for a complete listing of presentations. I am offering extra credit for my students that attend any of these presentations. Of particular interest will be a presentation on human trafficking by Haitian native Micheline Slattery on Tuesday, March 30th, from 12:30-1:45 in the Cultural Center. My Introduction to Philosophy class will be cancelled that day so that I and my students may attend this presentation. There will be a public reading of the winning essays for this year's Martin Luther King, Jr. Writing Contest on Tuesday, April 6th at 11:00 in room C-316. Food will be available free of charge. |
Announcements

REMINDER FOR PHL 1001 ON T/TH: We will not have class on Tuesday, March 30th, so that we can attend the presentation by Micheline Slattery. |
