Tatyana Novikova (Ivanova) about Svetlana Alexievich in “Foreign Policy in Focus”: “The prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature 2015
has been awarded to my compatriot from Belarus, writer and journalist Svetlana Alexievich. Many Belarusians pin their hopes on this
prize… With her true war stories or her oral history about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, Alexievich is addressing the
same issue: abuse of power and the destruction of people. With the Nobel Prize, her books will now receive worldwide dissemination.
Perhaps they can help prevent more of these disasters in the future.” Novikova's presentation, sponsored by the BHSU English Club,
will take place in Jonas 110 on Wednesday, April 6 at 6:30 pm.

Geek Speak: Religion and Hip Hop
Join us on Thursday, March 31 at 4:00 in Jonas 110 for "God Show Me The Way: Religion and Hip Hop," hosted by Dr. Dan May. Hip hop
culture has come to occupy a central role in music, both in the United States and around the world. We will briefly outline the history
of hip hop, and then take a closer look at the often‐overlooked intersection of rap music and religion.
Drawing on the culture of traditions such as the Nation of Islam, the Five‐Percent Nation and Christianity, religious imagery and
themes have been used in hip hop lyrics for decades. We will listen to many examples of this, and also discuss how the incorporation
of religion into hip hop is as relevant and vibrant today as it has ever been. The scholarship of hip hop has also grown to include a
focus on the conversation between rap music and religion, and we will see what prominent scholars have to say about all of this.

Visit Germany this summer
This summer BHSU is offering a special class on Global Innovation in Manufacturing and Management. The BHSU‐Faculty Led
Experience (approximately June 3‐16, 2016) provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about international business with a
focus on innovation in manufacturing and management. Prior to departure the faculty‐led group will study international business and
entrepreneurial development, as well as learning about German culture. While in Germany we will tour manufacturing and
distribution facilities throughout the region. Students will also have free time to explore the town of Aalan and the surrounding area.
This course may substitute for BADM407 (International Business), BADM336 (Entrepreneurship I), MGMT640 (Entrepreneurship), or as
an upper level business elective.
Due to limited space on the tours, enrollment in the class is capped at 10 students. Please apply here if you would like to attend this
trip.
We will be accepting applications through the end of March after which faculty will begin selecting students they feel will benefit most
from participating. Selected students will be notified during the first week of April. Fees related to travel and expenses may be
eligible for consideration in financial aid. Please let me know if you have any questions or contact the international studies office to
learn about more opportunities to broaden your education by studying abroad. ‐ Dr. Jeff Wehrung Jeffrey.Wehrung@BHSU.edu
