Dinner Reception Between the Hedges
Monday, October 3, 2005 in the SkyClub

High over the legendary field of Sanford Stadium, the fifth largest stadium in the country at a capacity of 92,746, enjoy the best of southern regional cuisine while mingling with some of the brightest and most passionate members of the outreach and engagement community.








New this year!
Special Interest Roundtable Breakfasts

Find a table and find an ally. These special breakfasts will allow you to meet and brainstorm with others with similar (or very different) backgrounds, needs, and hopes. No table conversation will be the same and your institution may never be the same either!




Dinner Reception at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia
Sunday, October 2, 2005

To the sound of a string quartet, meet new colleagues and catch up with old ones, in the center of a "living laboratory" for teaching and research. This 313-acre preserve is the perfect setting to experience the warm southern hospitality of Athens.





We listened!
You said you wanted more time to visit your host institution, so we are offering several optional tours throughout the conference. Sign up when you arrive for quick and informative tours focusing on UGA's rich history, championship sports reputation, and facilities housing some of the most influential programs in higher education. In addition, take part in a special tour where you can see some of the engagement activities discussed in action within the local community.




COME EARLY OR STAY LATE

Earning recognition as one of America's "Top 25 Arts Destinations" by AmericanStyle magazine, Athens is a cultural hub for musicians, artists, writers and many more. Before you leave Athens, make sure you visit some of the area's top attractions:

1. Tour many of the best sites in the Classic City by taking in the "We Let the Dogs Out" public art exhibit. Created by the Athens-Oconee Junior Woman's Club, this exhibit features 4-foot fiberglass "bulldawgs" that showcase the work of some of the most talented local artists. Be sure to check out "Caesar Dawgustus," "Bugga" and "Dawg Fan;" all are located in Downtown Athens.

2. Be sure to walk under the University Of Georgia's landmark Arch, the gateway to the University of Georgia's historic North Campus. North Campus encompasses the original campus of the nation's first state-chartered university, and is home to Greek Revival architecture, historic buildings and beautiful gardens.

3. Cited as an attraction by Ripley's Believe It or Not, The Tree that Owns Itself is a large white oak tree at the corner of Dearing and Finley Streets that does in fact, own itself, as deeded by Colonel W.H. Jackson in the late 1800s. The current tree is the son of the original tree, and it is one of Athens' favorite landmarks.

4. Home to The B-52s, Pylon, R.E.M., and Widespread Panic, Athens is world-renowned for its thriving music scene: Rolling Stone Magazine named Athens the #1 College Music Scene in America and The New York Times calls Athens "Live Music Central." Stop by the 40 Watt club and the Georgia Theatre for a wide variety of musical acts that perform nightly.

5. With more than 8,000 works of art in their permanent collection, the Georgia Museum Of Art is the premiere art museum in the area. Works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Winslow Homer, and Andrew Wyeth are all housed at the museum, in addition to a group of over 800 drawings by European Old Masters from the collection of Giuliano Ceseri and a collection of paintings by artists of the American Scene period.
