The Wake the Arts Center’s opening celebration will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. in Scales Lower Lobby. Faculty, staff and students can learn about the Center and the opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

The following are among the recently funded Wake the Arts Center projects

  • Hip Hop Literacy Donovan Livingston, director of college thriving, and teaching assistant Professor of Music at UNC-Chapel will draw on personal experiences as well as scholarship to examine the role of culture, hip-hop and spoken word poetry in student experiences in higher and postsecondary education.
  • The “Art, Community, and Campus Memorialization Panel Discussion” and the Opening Reception for “Escape Velocities: New Acquisitions to the Reece Collection of Student-Acquired Contemporary Art.” RSVPs are requested for these events.
