| Dear Colleagues, |
| Goodness, is it March already?! The light is returning to both ends of the day and there promises to warmth and budding in the coming days and weeks. Whew. |
| Join us for a talk or two... |
| Robin LeBlanc (Professor of Politics) will deliver the next Nobel Symposium Lecture on Friday, March 8 at 12:15 in the Harte Center. She will help us all understand the work of imprisoned Iranian human rights advocate Narges Mohammadi, who won the Nobel Peace prize. |
| Coming up on March 5 at 5pm in Stackhouse Theater, Jay Garfield (director of the Buddhist Studies program and Tibetan Studies in India program at Smith College and visiting professor of Buddhist philosophy at Harvard Divinity School) will deliver the Robert Root '42 Lecture. Learn more here. |
| Here at the half-way mark of the Winter term, I wish you great strength in grading midterms while also starting the great push to the end of the academic year. Thanks for all that you do to help us achieve the mission of W&L! |
| Best wishes, |
|
