DR. MARGARET HERMANEK PEASLEE LEADING

STUDY ABROAD TO CZECH REPUBLIC

TITUSVILLE, Nov. 5 -- Dr. Margaret Hermanek Peaslee, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Professor of Biology at the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville, will conduct a Study Abroad to the Czech Republic for students from the University of Pittsburgh Titusville and Oakland campuses.  Leaving on May 1, the group will travel to Prague, Pilzen and Brno, Czech Republic.

Cynthia A. Andes, Assistant Professor of Humanities and English, will accompany Peaslee.  Under the professors’ direction, students will earn three credits while studying the History of Genetics in the Czech Republic and Art and Architecture of the Czech Republic.  In addition, they will visit museums, art galleries and the University of West Bohemia before returning May 15.

Peaslee’s maiden name, Hermanek, is well-recognized in the Czech Republic.  “That is the name that hotels pick up right away and register both David (her husband) and me under,” says Peaslee.  “Hermanek translates to “chamomile” like the tea.”
