Announcements:
• The Bookstore's sidewalk sale continues through April 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!
• On Thursday, April 4, writer/actor Curtis Snow will host a screening of his award winning film, Snow on tha Bluff. Snow will introduce the film and make himself available to answer questions afterwards. The screening is at 7:30 pm in TLC 1305, and is free and open the public. It is for mature audiences only.
This screening will be followed by a program of short films from the 37th annual Atlanta Film Festival, one of the Southeast’s premier events in independent film. The program represents some of the best short animation, fiction and documentary from this year’s event. The festival programmers selected around 100 short films from nearly 2000 submissions, and on Friday, April 5, they will be on hand to present this wonderful program, curated in conjunction with the UWG Film Society and Film Studies Program. This screening will be at 7:30 pm at the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center and is free and open to the public.
These programs are sponsored by the University of West Georgia Film Studies Program and Film Society, in collaboration with the Atlanta Film Festival.

• Socks, Socks, and more Socks! Please join the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and our co-sponsors: National Pan-Hellenic Council, Pan Hellenic Council, BSA, and SGA, in celebrating Older Americans Month by participating in our annual Sock Drive. Older Americans Month has been celebrated in May since 1963. The 2013 theme is “Unleash the Power of Age!” Did you know that one in every eight or 13.1% of the population (or 40.4 million in 2010) is an Older American (65+) or that 485,000 grandparents, aged 65 or older, had the primary responsibility for their grandchildren who live with them? Or that almost half of older women (47%) age 75+ live alone or that there are an estimated 53,364 centenarians (2010 census) in the United States. Our office will be collecting NEW socks April 1st - April 26th. Please help us reach our goal of 500 NEW pairs of socks! Bring all NEW socks to the Center for Diversity & Inclusion, Room 217 (Row Hall, East Wing) or place them in campus mail. All socks will be donated to local nursing homes in Carroll and Haralson Counties during the month of May. For questions call 678-839-5400. Co-sponsors: National Pan Hellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Pan Hellenic Council, SGA, & BSA. Click here for additional information.
