Journey to Japan with Rick DaSilva on Feb. 27

Feb 8, 2014

The Elizabeth Taber Library will host Rick DaSilva who will share his experiences from touring Japan this summer. The talk is set for Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m.

The trip, backed by the National Consortium for the Teaching about Asia and the Fulbright-Hays Group Study Abroad Program, sent DaSilva and 11 other educators from across the country on a month long study tour. He will discuss the trip and its purpose as well as his own personal experiences through discussion and photographs.

A native of Marion, DaSilva has been teaching history at Tabor Academy for the past decade after graduating in 1989. Since he’s been at Tabor, he’s taught ancient and modern world history courses as well as Asian history as an elective.
