Felice Nudelman joined The New York Times as the college marketing manager in 2000. Ms. Nudelman oversees college relations and marketing and is responsible for developing national strategies, university partnerships and new business opportunities. |
Felice Nudelman, executive director of educational initiatives of the New York Times, will be in Duluth to introduce the webcast presentation, and from New York, cultural reporter Patricia Cohen will serve as moderator.
Learn how Swank prepared for the role of celebrated aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, who was the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic and the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Discussions will also deal with what conclusions Nair drew in reconstructing the much-publicized events of Earhart’s mysterisous disappearance while on a flight in the central Pacific on July 2, 1937.
The event is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
