USF St Pete - ULIM Spring 2022 Research Collaboration: Partner Spotlight: LARISA PATLIS

We are so pleased to be partnering with law students at ULIM this semester!

And we are especially grateful to Larisa Patlis for helping us to connect with the Law Faculty at ULIM in preparation for our collaboration on this joint research project.  Dr. McLauchlan had the good fortune to collaborate with Ms. Patlis when she was teaching at ULIM while on a Fulbright in 2010 -and they have been working together on projects ever since. One of the highlights was welcoming Ms. Patlis to USF St Petersburg as a Carnegie Fellow in 2012.

On this blog we will feature the bios of all program coordinators. 

Next up -- Prof. Elena Margineanu of the Law Faculty -- who will be recruiting and supervising the ULIM law students.

We are also appreciative of all of the efforts of the Vice Rector for International Cooperation Valentina Ciumacenco on this and many other international programs at ULIM.
