Alumni may order books directly from Harris. For the past several years, Dan Premo, professor of political science, has introduced students to a Cuba Americans rarely see. During a two-week travel seminar, students meet with educators, university students, health workers, government representatives, artists and community leaders to learn how Cuba is coping with the economic crisis brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union, its communist allies in Eastern Europe and the continuation of the U.S. embargo. This year, the Summer Seminar in Cuba is open to alumni. The group will travel May 22 through June 5, spending most of its time in Havana, with side trips to Pinar del Rio, Cienfuegos and Trinidad.
English translation is provided for all scheduled activities.

In 1987, Wentworth, then age 13, suffered a stroke and was in a coma for six weeks. The stroke left scar tissue in his right temporal lobe, which developed into temporal lobe epilepsy. His condition brought about short-term memory difficulties with which he contended throughout his undergraduate career.
