Her visit included a talk with University Librarian Margaret Grove, as well as Sheila Young, director of Brock International. It also included a campus tour by Recruitment and Liaison Services.<\/p>\n<p>Brock has a long-standing connection with the Azores, due in large part to the activities of Irene Blayer, professor of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures. As a result, Azorean government officials have visited Brock, supported some students to pursue language and cultural studies in Portugal and donated academic books on Portuguese literature, linguistics, history and culture to the James A. Gibson Library.<\/p>\n<p>This was Machado\u2019s first visit to Brock. It closed with a meeting with Murray Knuttila, Provost and Vice-President Academic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An official from the Azores was at Brock last week to visit the University Library and faculty members from the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,1],"tags":[139],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2213,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210\/revisions\/2213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
