Philosophers, warriors and rich history will be on full-display, as the Sinclair Talks and International Series will be presenting Greece at the Stage Area of Building 8 on Nov. 14 at noon.
The presentation is free for all Sinclair Community College students, faculty and staff to attend.
Debra Fazio, adjunct faculty at Sinclair, will be the presenter and she said she has a reasonable amount of knowledge of the country, as she has vacationed to Greece this past summer.
She invites all Sinclair students to come and experience the beauty of the Greek culture, music, food and countryside.
“I hope to talk about the philosophers,” Fazio said in a phone interview. “I hope to talk about some of the islands, some…of the archeological sites. I want to talk a little bit about the Greek Gods and how they figured into the history of Greece.”
She also said she would mention the warriors Greece is known for, such as Alexander the Great.
Fazio said she will be displaying some of the photos she took during her vacation and she has provided Sinclair’s Culinary Arts Department with some Greek recipes for seasonal cookies and other “Greek finger-foods.”
As a reading instructor, she said her students created a report on the etymology of Greek words and how we use them today. She also hopes that some of the students will participate with Greek dancing.
She described Greece as a beautiful, untouched country and recommends it as a prime vacation destination because of its minimal amounts of pollution and beautiful scenery and locations.
This is the final International Series for Fall Semester.
The next Sinclair Talks presentation will be on Nov. 20 and is entitled Face the Fears.
