3-4 PM | Reception | Ruth B. Shannon Center Patio
Whittier legend Professor of Political Science Mike McBride is retiring at the end of this academic year. But there is still opportunity for alumni to learn from Professor McBride, who is a specialist in Soviet and Russian history and politics, human rights, and the United Nations. At this event, he will discuss how he got to Whittier, why he stayed, and what he hopes to leave behind as lessons learned and advice for the future, drawing on the words of Russian dissident Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, United Nations officials, and John Greenleaf Whittier.
