Last Friday, Rensselaer held its annual benefits fair for employees. During my shift at the library’s table in the Armory, I spoke to J. Louis Trzepacz, Class Dean for the class of 2014. After telling Louis about this week’s Lunch & Learn program with local author Edward Chevrette, he asked if I could let Friends know about another author’s appearance that’s coming up. I said, "Absolutely!"
In celebration of International Week (November 13-18), author and international educator Kris Holloway will be on campus for a luncheon and book discussion on Monday, November 14th. Her memoir, Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali, explores her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, West Africa.
Prior to the event, the Rensselaer Union bookstore will have a limited supply of Holloway's book for sale. Any remaining copies will be available (cash sale only) on the day of the event. Following her talk, Holloway will be available to sign copies of her book.
The free luncheon and discussion will be held in the Heffner Alumni House dining room at noon and is being sponsored by the Office of International Programs at Rensselaer. I would love to go, but I’ll be attending a workshop in Albany that afternoon. For more information, see http://www.lib.rpi.edu/documents/ies.pdf
