NEW YORK (TIP): The University of Scranton will welcome three distinguished guests from India to participate in the fourth annual Jay Nathan, Ph.D., Visiting Scholar Lecture Series on Wednesday, March 29, at 5:30 p.m. in the Moskovitz Theater of the DeNaples Center.

Ambassador Riva Ganguly Das, consul general of India, and Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra, deputy consul general of India, will join Dr. Nathan on a panel to discuss “India: Ancient. Culture. Democracy.” A classical Indian dance performance by Kadhambari Sridhar and a reception featuring traditional Indian food will immediately follow the panel discussion.

The event, which is free of charge and open to the public, is made possible through the generosity of Dr. Nathan, a former professor in Scranton’s Kania School of Management who is currently serving as a professor of management at St. John’s University in Queens.

Darla Germeroth, Ph.D., associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Scranton, will moderate the panel discussion.

The Jay Nathan, Ph.D., Visiting Scholar Lecture Series invites international scholars to visit The University of Scranton to address issues that will enlighten and benefit students, faculty and the community at large. While visiting the campus, scholars deliver presentations on topics of interest to the academic community and meet informally with attendees, students and faculty.
