2021 Midsummer Musings
Posted on: Jun 17, 2021
On behalf of LdM faculty and staff, we invite you to participate in LdM’s 2021 Midsummer Musings, a NEW initiative designed specifically for LdM Affiliate Partners!
For four afternoons in June, our dedicated professors will celebrate our global connectedness by introducing curious colleagues to gems of Italian culture. Attendees will engage with LdM faculty who are eager to meet you and passionate about engaging in informal dialogue that enables them to share insight on topics such as Italian history, art, restoration, and kitchen sustainability.
Join us June 22, 23, 25 and 29 via Zoom. To save your virtual seat, please review the Midsummer Musings schedule below and register HERE. We encourage you to extend this special invitation to faculty and staff at your institution, and we look forward to musing with you next week!
