Learn about Netherlands culture, education, economics and political science at "Through the Cultural Lens: Current Issues in the Netherlands," a panel discussion featuring seven Dutch college faculty and staff, on Thursday, Oct. 20, at McHenry County College.

Two separate panel discussions will take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 7 to 8 p.m. in Room B166-167 at the college, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake.

The Dutch educators are visiting McHenry County College for a two-week international exchange from Oct. 15-29, sponsored by MCC's Department of International Studies, which is a member of the Illinois Consortium for International Studies and Programs.

The panel discussion is facilitated by Todd Culp, MCC instructor of history and political science.
