Skagit Valley College is pleased to announce that Rick Steves, author and travel expert, will kick off SVC's GlobalFest 2010 on Tuesday, February 9 at 7:30 p.m. in McIntyre Hall, which is located at SVC's Mount Vernon Campus. Admission is free to Rick Steves' presentation, "Travel As A Political Act," however tickets are required.
Festival Seating: Free with ticket.
The author of over 30 European travel guidebooks and host of a national public television series, Rick feels that travel helps us "challenge truths we were raised to think were selfevident and God-given." Rick shares how the other 96 percent of humanity sees our nation naturally out of his travel experiences.
Skagit Valley College's GlobalFest 2010, February 8 – March 5, will have other events celebrating world culture, global service, international business, and human rights. For more information, visit www.skagit.edu/globalfest, or contact Ted Maloney, (360) 416-7774 or ted.maloney@skagit.edu
