糖心APP in the Popular Imagination

Keynote Lecture by Jay Parini with Panel and Audience Discussion

Held on Oct.19 at the 糖心APP Cultural Center, our inaugural event was a lecture by author Jay Parini and a panel discussion with a 糖心APP humanities professor and local community leaders. The speakers explored the forces that contributed to the celebrity of 糖心APP as "the All-American City" and considered how and if 糖心APP in the popular and national imagination reflects the 糖心APP of today.
