Herbert Halpert Roundtable Event

In February, we will kick off our 100th Anniversary Events with a special recognition of Herbert and Violetta Halpert’s contribution to establishing MUNFLA and the Folklore Department at Memorial. Their generous support continues today with their endowments to fund student research and travel, along with the family’s recent donation to support MUNFLA operations and initiatives.

The event will invite a panel of former students and faculty to discuss Halpert’s legacy with a round table event, “Applying Halpert’s Vision to Today: Past and Future Possibilities for Collecting Provincial Folklore”. Join us and share your own past experiences, as well as your visions for the future! Stay tuned for further specific details.
