Freshman Connections will bring Lucretia Goe, a professional storyteller and Liberia native who escaped the country during the Civil War of 1991, to Ball State University tonight.
Goe now teaches third grade at Tenth Street Elementary School in Anderson, Ind. She will be speaking at 7 p.m. today in Art and Journalism Building Room 175.
Freshman Connections coordinator Melinda Messineo said students can expect an interesting and educational presentation.
"She will be telling of her life experiences, as well as sharing some stories with students," Messineo said.
According to the Web site for "Friends of Liberia," a nonprofit organization that supports education in Liberia, Goe fled Liberia in 1991 with her husband Daniel and two children Yidi and Tophlay. The family came to America to avoid the conflict.
