KUMP CENTER TO PRESENT ITALY LECTURE

July 24, 2026

ELKINS—The Kump Education Center will be hosting an international lecture on travelling throughout Italy on Tuesday, July 28 at 7 p.m. at the Kump House in Elkins. The presentation titled, “Roaming Italy: From Rome to Naples” will be offered by Nasra Adan, a visiting lecturer from Prince Sultan University in Riyahd, Saudi Arabia.

Adan has travelled extensively throughout the world, having lived in her home country of Canada, China, India, Korea, Japan, Kenya and currently Saudi Arabia. She can speak seven different languages besides her native English: Chinese, Korean, Somali, Arabic, French, Swahili and Spanish. Her language arts emphasis has resulted in a career of teaching essay writing at the college level, and she has also taught reading, listening and speaking as a second language.

“Every place had its own atmosphere, food, and story, and that was what made the journey so memorable,” said Adan. “From Sicily to Rome, Florence, Pisa, Pompeii, and Naples, travelling through Italy only made me want to keep exploring.”

Adan’s lecture will feature a power-point presentation.

The Kump Education Center is located at 401 Randolph Ave., Elkins (across from Kroger’s). Parking is located behind the Kump House with easy access off Seneca Road. The event is free and open to the public.
