The Department welcomes back all returning students and looks forward to the 2012-2013 academic year.
We are happy to welcome Visiting Assistant Professor Carl Olsen, who is joining us from UC-Berkeley. Carl will teach two courses of Swedish this fall, a January term IEX course on Norse mythology, and this spring he will teach a course of Swedish as well as a special topics course on “Other Worlds” in Scandinavian Literature (from the ancient to the contemporary). Stop by to welcome Carl!
And stop by to see what is happening as Scandinavian Studies celebrates 30 years as a Department (41 as a program) on campus. Keep an eye out on the blog and the Department’s Facebook page (and watch for posters around campus) for updates on events, lectures, and happenings around the Department this year.
May it be an enriching, stimulating, and rewarding year!
