SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Join us on Sant Jordi Day to celebrate Professor Catherine Brown & Professor Ruth Tsoffar!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Comparative Literature and the Residential College on Sant Jordi Day\, \n- April 23rd\,  3-4:30 pm\,\n- In the CompLit main suite (2021 Tisch Hall 435 South State Street)\n\nTo celebrate the careers of\nProfessor Catherine Brown & Professor  Ruth Tsoffar!\n\nWhat better way to honor all they have done for our communities than to share books and roses Barcelona-style? \nThere will be food and drinks\, and former students and colleagues talking about books that Catherine and Ruth helped them fall in love with. \nPlus\, two lucky winners will get a copy of their latest books in a special drawing!\n\nPlease be sure to RSVP by April 15 so we can plan accordingly.\n\nAccording to Catalan legend\, the knight Sant Jordi slew a dragon to save a princess\, and from the dragon's blood sprang a rosebush. He plucked the finest red rose for the princess\, and she\, in turn\, gifted him a book to symbolize 'a rose for love\, and a book forever.' On April 23\, the streets of Barcelona transform into an open-air library and garden. Millions of roses and books are exchanged between friends and colleagues\, turning the entire city into a celebration of chivalry\, storytelling\, and the enduring power of the written word.\n\nWe look forward to celebrating together!
