UW-RF Emeriti Professor Discusses Trip to Haiti
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls offers a free lecture hosted by emeritus
professor Curtiss Larson from 2 to 4 p.m. on Nov. 7 in the President's Room
of the Hagestad Student Center.
The presentation, "From a Physics Classroom to Haiti: New Fish to Fry,"
will discuss Larson's role as a volunteer in building a "village"
in Haiti and address the progress made and future plans for such humanitarian
efforts in a country devastated by poverty.
"We should all have concern for those less fortunate than us, even though
our busy daily schedules often keep our action on the back burner," says
Larson. "Retirement can provide opportunities for new and very meaningful
adventures, not seemingly very closely related to our professional careers."
This presentation is part of the Sunday Emeriti Lecture Series, sponsored by
the UW-RF College of Arts and Sciences and the Office of Outreach and Graduate
Studies. The lecture is free and open to the public and refreshments will be
served following the presentation.
