The presentation by Dr. Eduardo Torres Cuevas, titled &ldquo;Preserving Cuba&rsquo;s Cultural Heritage in the 21st Century&rdquo; attracted a small gathering, apparently mostly made up of UNC staff and students who are currently enrolled in one of their languages courses. I wasn&rsquo;t really sure what to expect from it, but being the supportive husband that I am, I signed off from work a bit earlier and together with our 2 kids we drove to the main campus.</p>
