BOWLING GREEN, O.—The celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at Bowling Green State University will feature an appearance
by Stephanie Elizondo Griest, author of “Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing and Havana.”
Elizondo Griest, who visited 21 countries in four years, will speak at 8 p.m. Oct. 27 in 228 Bowen-Thompson Student Union. The Latino Student Union (LSU) and the Ethnic Cultural Arts Program are co-sponsoring her visit.
A native of Corpus Christi, Texas, Elizondo Griest went to Moscow as an exchange student and studied at the Moscow Linguistics Institute while enrolled at the University of Texas-Austin. She graduated from the university in 1997 with bachelor’s degrees in journalism and post-Soviet and East European studies. She has written more than 200 articles for various publications, including the New York Times and Washington Post, and was selected by the Henry Luce Foundation to teach journalism for one year at China Daily.
Other highlights of the Hispanic Heritage Month include Latinopalooza on Oct. 15.
Latinopalooza will open outside the Bowen-Thompson Student Union from 5-8 p.m. with disc jockeys, clowns, face painting, piñatas, contests and other carnival-type activities. The event will then move to the Multi-purpose Room inside from 8 p.m. to midnight for dinner and entertainment, provided by La Revancha, a soft rock group, and Sammy DeLeon.
