[International] Lunch with author and Earth Charter keynote speaker Stephanie Elizondo Griest (GEN)

Dear International Listserv Members:

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, Earth Charter keynote speaker/author Stephanie Elizondo Griest will be on campus – and

you are invited to have lunch with her!

Stephanie Elizondo Griest has mingled with the Russian Mafiya, polished propaganda in China, and belly danced with rumba queens in Cuba. These adventures inspired her memoirs Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana (Villard/Random House, 2004), Mexican Enough: My Life Between the Borderlines (Washington Square Press/Simon & Schuster, 2008), and guidebook 100 Places Every Woman Should Go (Travelers' Tales, 2007). She won the 2007 Richard J. Margolis Award for Social Justice Reporting and got inducted into PEN in 2008. (from http://www.aroundthebloc.com/bloc_head.htm)

While these may not be typical study abroad experiences,
they’ll certainly make for incredible lunch-time conversation!

Whether you’ve read her books or not, r.s.v.p. to join us for lunch
and to speak face-to-face with her about “cultural immersion.”

This event will be limited to the first 10 students who sign up to participate. To sign up, stop by the Office of International Education in Dempsey 146. We’ll take your name, email address, phone number and $7 in cash (to cover the Taste of Nations lunch).

Where: Taste of Nations in the Crescent Cafe, Reeve Union (food from Arab Nations)

When: 12:30 - 1:50, Wednesday, Oct 15
