Award-winning author, science journalist, and reporter Michelle Nijhuis will discuss her 2021 book on conservation of endangered species at a 6 p.m. event Wednesday, March 30, in the Honors Hall Lounge at Washington State University. The free, public event is co-hosted by the WSU Honors College with the support of the Department of English and its Visiting Writers Series (VWS).
Honors’ V.N. Bhatia Lecture is named for V.N. ”Vic” Bhatia, the visionary head of the then WSU Honors Program for several decades starting in the 1960s. Past lectures have been delivered by a U.S. ambassador, academicians, politicians, a poet, an artist, authors, and heads of organizations. Honors celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2020.
The VWS is part of the WSU Department of English in the College of Arts and Sciences. For 40 years, the series has brought hundreds of noted poets and writers of fiction and nonfiction to campus.
