• The Center for Diversity and Inclusion Second Multicultural Book Discussion for this academic year is scheduled for Friday, April 5, 12 p.m. in room 212 Row Hall. The book chosen by the Multicultural Book Committee is “The House on Mango Street," by Sandra Cisneros. Dr. Gary Van Valen, Associate Professor, History will lead the discussion. The Multicultural Book discussion is designed to promote intercultural communication, education and awareness through the reading of various books that shed knowledge about disparate cultures. The book discussion is open to the university community. We have two paperbacks available to check out. You may come over and review the book in our Multicultural Center or check out a copy to be read at a more leisurely pace. Should you need more information, please contact the office of Institutional Diversity at 678-839-5400.
• The Bookstore is having a sale April 1-5, and it’s a BIGGIE. Everything on the sidewalk will be 40% off or “Priced as Marked” which could end up being MUCH MUCH more!!! This will be the BIG event at the Bookstore this Spring. Here's what will be on sale:
Most fall & winter gear (and even some spring & summer clothes!)
Gifts
Spirit items
Electronics (YES, electronics!)
Books, trade and children's
Art supplies
And MUCH MORE!
Plus, ARAMARK will be out with some games and door prizes, and even Wolfie may show up (what day is a closely guarded secret).
So, come one, come all, to the only sale of its kind this year (unless we go crazy and do it again in the Fall). We GUARANTEE you’ll be shocked at the prices so all purchases are final.
See you April 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or all five days!
