Jeff Gundy to discuss semester in Lithuania
Jeff Gundy, professor of English at Bluffton University, will devote a campus colloquium on Friday, Oct. 2, to his spring 2015 sabbatical in Lithuania. Free and open to the public, his presentation will begin at 4 p.m. in the Kreider Room in Marbeck Center.
Gundy, who also chairs Bluffton’s humanities division, spent last spring semester teaching at LCC International University in Klaipeda, Lithuania. LCC International is an English-language liberal arts university with about 600 students from all over Eastern Europe and a number of Mennonites on the faculty and staff.
In addition to teaching writing courses and directing two students who were doing writing projects at the university, Gundy did some traveling with his wife, Marlyce. He will share photos and poems from those experiences, as well as reflections on life in the Baltics and in Lithuania in particular.
