Wofford has announced a variety of events for February, including Black History Month programs, musical performances and art exhibitions. The events are open to the public, and are free (unless otherwise noted).
Jack Byrne, left, director of the Sustainability Integration Office at Middlebury College, and Allyn Steele, former Wofford director of community sustainability, will discuss “Choices and Consequences: A Conversation About Change in the Sustainability Landscape at Wofford and Beyond" on Feb. 8.
John J. Wood, founder and board co-chair of Room to Read, a global organization dedicated to promoting and enabling education through programs focused on literacy and gender equality in education, will receive the Sandor Teszler Award for Moral Courage and Service to Humankind and an honorary degree from Wofford on Thursday, Feb. 9, during a special convocation at the college.
“Student • Athlete • Artist,” an exhibition of paintings, drawings, pottery and photographs by eight Wofford student-athletes, recognizes their accomplishments as artists while they pursue their classical liberal arts college degrees. These students are majoring in such fields as biology, English, physics and art history, and they are members of the football, soccer, volleyball and cross country teams.
Building on its commitment to creating global citizens with cross-cultural competence who are prepared to succeed in the 21st century, Wofford will offer a residential language immersion program for rising 8th-grade through 12th-grade students beginning this summer.
