THE PROGRAM

How Culture Affects Everything
Explore how a society’s culture affects everything from what is perceived to what is valued. Dr. Greg Cant, dean of Concordia College’s School of Business, will explain why understanding cultural nuances is essential for global business, especially when we often find ourselves outside the comfort of our own cultural setting in a multicultural society.  Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the means and dimensions of culture.

A Global Health Crisis: Neglected Tropical Diseases
Helminth infections, diseases caused by parasitic roundworm, afflict about one-third of the world’s population but receive much less publicity than less burdensome diseases like malaria and tuberculosis. Often referred to as neglected tropical diseases, these infections affect young children more than any other age group. Dr. Jennifer Bath will share how current research provides hope for improved treatments and vaccines.

Then and Now: Greek Mythology in the 21st Century
The study of ancient Greek mythology is an exciting way not only to learn about our own cultural heritage, but also to think about questions such as how do we know what we know, and what is truth. This lecture by Dr. Heather Waddell Gruber will introduce you to the development of myth. Bring a pen and be prepared to have a conversation.
