Interesting Talk

Mr Seth Cohen will give a Guest Lecture on ‘Managing Diverse communities: A Global Perspective’ tomorrow Wednesday 11th April 2007 at 2.30 pm in the LT1. Seth Cohen is a facilitator and mediator with knowledge of interpersonal, cross-cultural, and non-verbal communication issues.
The talk is taking place thanks to the initiative of the US embassy.

All students are invited to attend.

Important note: All Year 1 students following the Journalism module with me tomorrow need to attend. We will of course meet at 1 pm in class and then we will all move to LT1 for the guest lecture. All students are expected to submit a piece after the talk for the journalism class. So you should make sure that you listen carefully and if need be ask questions (just like normal journalists) during question time!
