First Tuesday of the Month Group

By Aleksandra Gruzinska Since the fall of 2016, sever- al emeriti faculty from the School of Literatures and Cultures (SILC) have met on the first Tuesday of each month, from nine to ten in the morning, at the ASU University Club. Because some of us are members of the University Club, coffee is free, as is the parking behind the Club. So far, no first Tuesdays have been can- celled or missed. Attendance varies from four or five in the summer to six, seven or more in the fall, winter and spring. The conversation touch- es on a variety of subjects: academic, health, reminiscence of past events, From left to right: Gary Tipton (Russian), Mark Curran (Portuguese), Etsuko Obata Rei- politics, and even new topics such man (Japanese), Aleksandra Gruzinska (French), Tim Wong (Chinese), Lee Croft (Russian). as cryptocurrency.

Places of the Heart

By Christine Uber Grosse I would like to begin by thank- ing the Emeritus College for its kind support of my new book Places of the Heart, through a 2017 EC Research and Creativity Award. I had wanted to write the book for years. However, without the motivation of the grant, I probably would never have started the project. As a result, I encourage any member of the Emeritus College who is interested to apply for the Re- search and Creativity Award. It made my book a reality. Places of the Heart contains stories and watercolors of places that have mattered in my life.
