College of Liberal Arts

At a book release celebration today, some of the book’s authors, editors and students will share their “local and personal” experiences of learning and teaching Spanish, offering a different perspective from the typical academic approach to “foreign” languages.  

The Gov. Tom McCall Memorial Lecture in Public Affairs this year will be a conversation between U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and retired Associated Press journalist Terrence Petty.

Petty will interview Wyden about his recent book, “It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change.” Petty was the Oregon news editor for the AP for 18 years, after working as an AP foreign correspondent based in Germany.
