3. Lecture: Dr. Nina Hellerstein
Franco-Mexican Artist Jean Charlot (1898-1979)
His French Connections and His Mexican-Inspired Murals on the UGA Campus
Wednesday, March 3 at 4 PM
Sanford Hall, Room 314
Nina Hellerstein, professor of French and head of the department of Romance Languages at UGA,
will present this lecture, which focuses on the years 1941-1944, when artist Jean Charlot was
invited by Lamar Dodd to be the artist in residence at UGA.
In the 1930s, Jean Charlot taught art at the Art Students' League in New York, and Lamar Dodd
was his student. Lamar Dodd then invited Charlot to come to the University of Georgia in the early
1940s as an artist in residence. Charlot painted several murals in Brooks Hall and one on the
facade of the Fine Arts building in the early 1940s.
During his stay on our campus, Charlot created not only the murals but also several paintings
which he left in the permanent collection of the Georgia Museum of Art.
Dr. Hellerstein learned of Jean Charlot's murals in Brooks Hall after the fire of August 15, 1995
damaged them, requiring their restoration.
Co-sponsored by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts and the Georgia Museum of Art.

When: Fri, Mar 5 @ 12:20 pm
Where: room 53, Fine Arts Bldg.
Firehouse Creative Productions will be coming to UGA to give a talk/demonstration about our
creative process. Led by UGA Drama alum Rachel Parish (BA 2001), Firehouse is an international
performance arts company with bases in the US and the UK. We engage audiences, communities
and theatre-makers in the contemporary retelling of stories. We create plays for small to midscale
theatre spaces as well as interactive performances for public spaces.
Our talk will relate specifically to our current show, Stella and our public art installation,
StoryStation. We will discuss and demonstrate how we have adapted a play by Goethe using real
life stories gathered from the public in Georgia and in London.
If you're interested in international collaboration, improvisation, devising, new ways of writing
scripts, ways to meaningfully gather real life stories, and turning real stories into new works of
performance, then you'll want to be there.

7. The New Rules for Tomorrow's Business:
A Student's Guide to Making a Difference in the World
Closing Plenary Session
Friday, March 5 from 1:15-2:15 PM
Mahler Auditorium
Georgia Center for Continuing Education
With the popularity of Facebook, Twitter, and the rise of social media, a new generation of socially
conscious students tuned-in, tech savvy, and ready to engage the world has emerged on college
campuses.
In this spirited talk, Blake Mycoskie relates his transformation from "typical business guy,"
motivated by just money and success, to the founder of TOMS Shoes, a company that advocates
"doing good by doing well."
Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes, Inc. TOMS' simple promise to
give a pair of new shoes to children in need around the world with every pair sold is
revolutionizing the way consumers shop. The One for One business model has encouraged
conscientious consumers to purchase and give more than 140,000 pairs of new shoes to children
in need in just 3 years. By the end of 2009, TOMS will give an additional 500,000 pairs of new
shoes to children in need all around the world, including at home in the U.S.
