Big Orange Give Zoomathon
Fall 2020
We are excited to host our first UTHC
Big Orange Give Zoomathon
November 18, 2020
8 AM to 5 PM
via Zoom
At 8 a.m., we’ll kick off our Zoomathon from the UT Humanities Center. Throughout the day, on Zoom, we’ll conduct virtual tours of our new facility, feature messages from UT humanities faculty, give you access to faculty lectures, and introduce you to some of our programs and supporters! You can talk with UTHC Director Amy Elias throughout the day to learn more about what the UTHC offers to our students, faculty, and region.
If you attended any of our terrific public events this year, you know we are working hard to create programming that speaks to our campus and our region. Maybe you saw the talk by Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith, or the dialogue between a VP of Google and the Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Perhaps you attended our Public Books Circle book group this past spring, or the Delaney/Baldwin symposium events held as part of the Delaney Project consortium. Perhaps you have been a recipient of one of our fellowships or grants.
Join us on FB Live at our UTHC page https://www.facebook.com/UTHumanitiesCenter and visit with Director Amy Elias or ask questions about our programs! We hope that you will be inspired to give to the UT Humanities Center on November 18 to support nine arts and humanities departments and help us to serve our students, support our faculty, and provide resources to our regional communities.
