Pictures: Department of World Languages & Cultures Autumn 2013 Soirée

Thank you to all who helped to organize and attend our fall “Autumn Soirée” at Finz Seafood and Grill in September! Faculty members donated their time, auction items and culinary expertise in order to make the evening a memorable one! We enjoyed desserts from many parts of the world, world music and dance, and were successful in raising around $2,000 for our departmental gift fund. The funds raised will be used for student scholarships, research, travel and academic enrichment activities.

The dance lessons at the Soirée were very popular
