Dear Davis Center Affiliates and Friends:
I warmly invite you to join us for this year's Undergraduate Colloquium
on Russian and Eurasian Studies sponsored by the Davis Center, which
will be held next Friday, April 24, beginning at 1:00 p.m. (please see
program below).
We have hosted this event annually since 1996 to showcase work by
seniors from Harvard, Wellesley, and Wheaton colleges in the general
field of Russian and Eurasian studies. This year, for the first time,
the event has a visual component, as we will screen a student
documentary film and host a student photo exhibit.
Your attendance at the colloquium will help to underscore the Center's
deep commitment to undergraduate education. The student presenters have
worked very hard on their senior projects, and we want to offer them a
strong and supportive audience presence.
All of the events will take place in or near the Davis Center's home in
the South Building of the Center for Government and International
Studies (1730 Cambridge Street). The panels and film screening will take
place downstairs on the CGIS South Concourse level, and the photo
exhibit and reception will be held just across the street in the CGIS
Knafel Building (1737 Cambridge Street) on the main floor. Please
contact Laura at the front desk by phone (617.495.4037) or email
(daviscrs(a)fas.harvard.edu <mailto:daviscrs@fas.harvard.edu>) with any
questions.
We look forward to seeing you there.
