This Friday, we will hear a very timely and important presentation drawn from the Great Decisions book. Dr. Sylvie Toska will discuss the United States’ interests in the Middle East (past and present).
On March 22, to celebrate March Madness, wear apparel of your favorite college basketball team. Perhaps you’ll meet others who support your chosen team, or even a long-lost college acquaintance or a supporter of your first-round foe.
Please consider volunteering. Look for information about volunteer opportunities here.
