Please come visit the library to see the exhibit "China, Russia, and Central Asia", an intriguing exhibit featuring art, artifacts, and rare books from the region. The exhibit will run through March 15, 2008. This exhibit celebrates the University's Eurasia Initiative, a plan to boost interest and involvement in Russia, China, and Central Asia, a crucial region in our global community. The goals of the Initiative are to strengthen the International Studies curriculum, expand opportunities to study Chinese and Russian languages and central Asian culture, and provide new study abroad experiences and stipends for faculty curriculum development. Many unique items are on display, such as these Putin Matryoshka Dolls on loan from David McFadden.
