Westminster Peace Studies Coffeehouse Focuses on Korea

The Westminster College Coffeehouse series continues with "Korea: From Hermit Kingdom to Nuclear Player" Thursday, Nov. 16, at 4:15 p.m. in the Berlin Student Lounge located in the McKelvey Campus Center.

"Come hear about Korea from South Korean students and Westminster faculty," said Dr. Sherri Pataki, Westminster College assistant professor of psychology. "Attendees will learn about South and North Korea, which made recent international news with its testing of a nuclear bomb."
