Study Abroad Blogger: Food in France (a love letter to baguettes)
"It has to be said: French food is amazing. The Savoie region of France- what I've started referring to as my region of France- is well-known for its raclette, a kind of cheese that is heated and melted onto bread or potatoes, and its tartiflette, a potato and cheese dish that now features heavily in my daydreams."

WorldCanvass: Immigration then and now
While immigrants have long fueled the American experiment, passionate debate about the pros and cons of immigration are nothing new. The rhetoric of recent national and local elections highlights tensions around changing demographics, inspiring debate about the impact of immigration on employment, on crime, and on community identity, while challenging the citizenry to examine their values and notions of what it means to be an American. On the next WorldCanvass, host Joan Kjaer and a diverse panel of guests will discuss the history of immigration in the Midwest as well as current questions about bilingualism, multiculturalism, and belonging and exclusion in times of international and domestic conflict. The public is invited to attend the free WorldCanvass discussion on Wednesday, March 8, from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Voxman Recital Hall. Read more about this event.
