UST students, staff and faculty are invited to first lecture in the the 2008-2009 English Department Colloquium Series. Leslie Adrienne Miller will present “Science Into Art: A Poetry Reading and Talk.” Dr. Miller’s presentation will be held from 3:30 – 5:00 pm Friday, September 19, in the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library’s O’Shaughnessy Room, Rm 108. Light refreshments will be served.

She delves into the mysteries of early anatomical studies and medical illustrations and finds there stories of women’s lives – sometimes tragic, sometimes comic – as exposed as the drawings themselves.”
