Nikola and Elisabeth Pribic came to Florida State University in 1965 from an Eastern Europe marked by national revolutions, social upheavals, and two world wars. While their lives were shaped by turmoil, their lifelong commitment to education led them to found a program in Slavic studies to promote greater understanding of the cultures of Eastern Europe. Dr. Rado Pribic will discuss how personal and world history were intertwined in the lives of his parents, and how their emigration and intellectual journey helped shape our University.

Pribic, Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages and Linguistics at Florida State University, and presented by the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics.
