Nationally recognized travel expert Rick Steves will deliver a free public lecture on Friday, Nov. 9 at 11 a.m. in Hoversten Chapel of Augsburg College鈥檚 Foss Center.
His lecture, 鈥淭ravel as a Political Act,鈥� will discuss how travel has changed his perspectives on the United States鈥� role in the world.
鈥淭ravel helps us celebrate differences and overcome misunderstandings 鈥� big and little 鈥� between people,鈥� says Steves. 鈥淭ravel paints a human face on our globe, making the vast gap between rich and poor vivid.鈥�
Steves is author of Europe Through the Back Door and host of well-known travel shows on PBS and public radio.
The lecture is being held in honor of Augsburg’s Center for Global Education鈥檚 25th anniversary. Steves has traveled on CGE programs on three separate occasions.
