Rebecca Goldstein talk, Howard Jacobson seminar canceled

ByGWEnglish

Author Rebecca Goldstein’s reading scheduled for 6:30 Tuesday night in the Marvin Center has been canceled because of weather.

Also, the first meeting of Howard Jacobson’s 1-credit seminar, scheduled for 6:10 p.m. on Tuesday, has been canceled. The class will meet on Tuesday, Feb. 16, as usual, and arrangements will be made to make up the missed hours.

But … the BIG READ event scheduled for Thursday at 4 p.m. in Rome 771 is still on. Do come out to meet Howard Jacobson, this year’s British Council U.K. Writer in Residence, who arrived in DC on the last London-to-Dulles flight to take off last Friday before Snowpocalypse 2010 hit!
