The humanities faculty at UGA are piloting a new series on campus featuring accessible talks about TV shows: Screen Time with Your Humanities Professors. The series highlights the sorts of questions and analytical modes that are characteristic of humanistic thinking, while making connections through mutual interests in pop culture. It's an a.v.-club-slash-humanities spin on UGA’s motto, Et docere et rerum exquirere causas. Talks are about 30 minutes long, with plenty of time for questions and discussion. Free lunch, students of all majors welcome.

Join the Athenaeum for an afternoon concert with UGA's Jazz Ensemble. The Jazz Quintet is made up of members of the advanced Jazz Ensemble as well as Jazz Combo. They will be performing pieces from composers of the past and present, including swing and latin jazz styles. The instrumentation is a traditional format including piano, acoustic bass, drums, and two tenor saxophonists. These student musicians play regularly at events both on and off campus.
