BOCES to host free cultural appreciation nights
January 3, 2018
A key to appreciating a culture is to understand the history behind it. In that spirit, Sublette BOCES is holding several cultural appreciation nights this winter. Wyoming native and Russian speaker, Chase Judd will present on America’s Cold War Rival, Russia, on Wednesday, Jan. 17, from 6 – 8 pm.
Russia is the world's largest country, covering two continents, eleven time zones, and 6.6 million square miles, this country has a culture and history that is as diverse and colorful as the food they eat. Chase will relate how Russia's long and checkered history has impacted the present. You'll hear stories of his many interactions and travels with Russians as well a deep look at Russian culture, and how Americans and Russians have a lot more in common than we may think. Chase worked in Russia as an English teacher in 2013 and he did a study abroad in college, where he majored in Russian and Political History.
The events are free and will be held at BOCES (655 N Tyler Ave., room 122). Light desserts and tea will be served.
