June 11
-- Three
University of Pittsburgh at Titusville
professors will travel to the Czech Republic in
May 2002 to conduct a study abroad program for
UPT students.
Dr. Margaret Hermanek Peaslee, vice
president for academic affairs and professor of
biology, Dr. Linda A. Winkler, associate
professor of anthropology and biology, and Ms.
Cynthia J. Andes, assistant professor of
humanities and English, are busy making plans
for next year’s trip. As
part of their preparation, Peaslee and Andes
attended a dedication ceremony on May 31 at the
Dominion Tower Plaza in Pittsburgh of the
official state historical marker commemorating
the signing of the Pittsburgh Agreement. According
to Peaslee, the Agreement was signed near this
site on May 31, 1918, and provided the impetus
for President Woodrow Wilson to champion
Czechoslovak independence at the end of World
War I. Thomas
Garrigue Masaryk, who later became the first
president of Czechoslovakia, was also one of the
signatories. |
