The Norway Hub at Augsburg University was recently notified that Bård Ludvig Thorheim, the Political Adviser to Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ine Eriksen Søreide, will be visiting Minneapolis and other parts of the Midwest at the end of May. The Norwegian Consulate reached out to see if there is any interest for faculty and/or staff at Augsburg University to host him for a student seminar during his visit.
As you can see from his resume, he has deep experience in the field of foreign affairs and wish to speak on the history behind the Norwegian constitution as well as Norwegian American History.
We are fully aware that the timing of his visit is not ideal. If you have an interest in attending or ideas of how to ensure an audience, please contact Bettine Hoff Hermanson at hermansb@augsburg.edu
