Dear Colleagues:

Syracuse University is proud to announce that it is awarding an honorary degree to Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn on May 11, 2008.  His son, Stephan, will participate in the Commencement Ceremonies, which are open to the public, at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 11, receiving this honorary degree on behalf of his father.  

On Friday, May 9, Stephan Solzhenitsyn will participate in a forum at 1:00 p.m., answering questions and providing perspectives on his father. This forum is open to the public, although designed primarily for students who have studied the works of Solzhenitsyn while engaged in undergraduate study at Syracuse University.  Dr. Edward Ericson, renowned Solzhenitsyn scholar from Calvin College, will moderate the forum.  If you would like to attend, please contact Dr. Patricia Burak, assistant professor of Russian Literature, at paburak at syr.edu for more information.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patricia A. Burak
