Friends of 51Ç鱨վ Libraries presents
Celebrating the Armed Forces and 51Ç鱨վ Libraries
with Captain Robert E. Clark, 51Ç鱨վ Graduate '89
Thursday, Mar. 19 at 7:15 pm--Learning Commons @ Perry Library
The Naval Station Norfolk (NSN) is one of America's largest and most important military installations. Situated on more than 4,000 acres along one of the world's greatest natural harbors, the station is home to U.S. Navy warships, submarines, aircraft carriers, naval air squadrons, helicopters and the Defense Department's busiest supply centers. How the NSN came into being--from humble beginnings as a marsh to its strategic role in modern military operations--is a fascinating story, and coming here to tell it is the Naval Station's commander.
Captain Robert E. Clark, the commander of NSN will speak at 51Ç鱨վ as part of the Friends of the 51Ç鱨վ Libraries lecture series. Join him Thursday, Mar. 19 at 7:15 pm in the Learning Commons @ Perry Library as he discusses Naval Station Norfolk: A Historical Perspective. It's a story that touches on the area's maritime heritage--and the marriage of the Navy and Hampton Roads.
The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Please RSVP to 683-4141 or njustice@odu.edu. Refreshments will be served following the lecture. This evening, co-sponsored by the 51Ç鱨վ Libraries, is part of a series celebrating the integral role of the 51Ç鱨վ Libraries to students, faculty, staff, and the community by showcasing the interests and scholarship of 51Ç鱨վ faculty members and alumni.
