Shop local for Valentine’s Day with Etsy

Etsy is an online website that is “your place to buy & sell all things handmade.” Etsy offers a feature where you can type in a specific location. Upon typing “Carrboro” and “Chapel Hill”, I found 45 sellers. This is a great way to support local artists and craftsmen.

One Hundred Years of Journalism Education at UNC

Consecrated to the Common Good: One Hundred Years of Journalism Education at UNC
Wednesday, Feb. 11
2:30-4 p.m.
George Watts Hill Alumni Center

This year, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first journalism course taught at UNC. Former Dean Tom Bowers will relate the story of the first century of journalism education on campus by focusing on people who shaped the program. The personalities include a dean who inspired a character in a novel, a beloved faculty member who was the basis for a comic-strip character, another who was unwittingly part of the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s and one who was ridiculed for predicting that computers would change journalism. Bowers also will tell of the influence of an alumnus who tried to change the school and threatened to ask Duke University to start a journalism school if UNC did not follow his wishes. Alumni and friends who have materials or stories to share are encouraged to contact Bowers at tbowers@email.unc.edu.

For more information, please contact Laura Sheppard at 843-5115 or ccll@unc.edu.

Only 1 Weekend Left! Alice in Wonderland: The Musical!‏

Company Carolina and The ArtsCenter

Alice in Wonderland

The Musical!

It’s as curious as ever!

With Book, Lyrics, and Music by Jim Eiler and Music by Jeanne Bargy, it’s all of the irreverence and invention of Lewis Carroll with lively tunes.

A young girl takes a plunge down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a world in which nothing is as it seems! The Cheshire Cat, Tweedle Dee, and (don’t forget!) Tweedle Dum, the White Rabbit, and the whole gang of Carroll creations reunite in this fusion of the wild, the wacky, and the wonderful.

This whimsical tale of a child’s imagination will be sure to draw children and adults alike!

WHEN:
February 5-7 at 8:00 PM

WHERE:
The ArtsCenter 300G East Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510
