Liberal Arts Sabbatical Speaker Series

The School of Liberal Arts will present Marjorie Rush Hovde, associate professor of technical communications and English, as guest speaker during the Sabbatical Speaker Series lecture from 4:30 -5:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 15, in Cavanaugh Hall, Room 508.

Hovde’s topic will be “Communication Across the Pond: Forces that Help and Challenge US and UK Engineers.”

The subjects in Hovde’s talk are engineers from the United States and the United Kingdom who work on a common project and discover that understanding each other's English is the least of their problems in cross-cultural communication. Hovde will discuss how they handle their communication surprises on a daily basis in order to achieve excellence in engineering.
