This year we are going to be diving into the names of God! Each week we will look at 2 to 3 names of God given to Him in the Bible and discuss how His name reveals His character. We will talk about how knowing His character, helps us to know Him and the world around us better! This study will be every Tuesday at the BCM building behind the Culbertson gravel lot. Snacks at 6:30 p.m. and the study will start at 7 p.m.

Come visit us in Pippin-Wyllie Hall from 9-12 to learn about nursing as a major. Kim and Machelle will be set up on the first floor.

Join us for an informational session study abroad opportunities at UVA Wise. We'll discuss short-term faculty led trips and semester or year-long programs. Scholarship information will also be shared!

This all-Beethoven program will showcase the evolution of the composer's unmistakably individualistic style by including five of his thirty-two piano sonatas and two other representative works composed between 1795-1816. The playing of pianist Ryan Fogg has been described as “brilliant, with a high level of polish, impressive technical command, musical understanding and sensitivity.” Over the past several years, he has performed over 100 solo recitals in 24 different states, and he recently made his Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall. In addition to being an active solo recitalist, he is an avid chamber musician, collaborative pianist, and concerto soloist. Dr. Fogg is Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard Studies at Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where he teaches a wide range of courses, including applied piano, piano literature, piano ensemble, theory, and ear training. Originally from Houston, Texas, Dr. Fogg holds degrees in piano performance from The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Houston, and East Texas Baptist University.

Founded in 1986 by Professors Richard H. Peake and the late Jack Mahony, both of the Department of Language and Literature, the Medieval-Renaissance Conference began as a way of promoting scholarly activity on campus and providing visibility for the College in the larger academic community. The first conference was a success, hosting twelve speakers from mainly area colleges. Welcoming papers on all areas of medieval and renaissance studies, including literature, history, philosophy, art and music, the conference has enjoyed steady growth and increased national presence, with speakers representing institutions across the country – and the occasional international speaker. By the late 1990s it had grown to a gathering of thirty or forty presentations per year, growth that continues the legacy of Professors Peake and Mahony and confirms the value of an academic conference at the College. In spite of this growth, the conference remains small enough to foster a sense of academic community, generating lively discussions and feedback not always achievable at larger conferences. We also work to maintain an open, informal and friendly setting for participants. Many younger scholars, presenting their first academic paper, find their experience with the conference encouraging and helpful to their academic growth.

This presentation will provide a brief overview of the horror movie genre from Georges Méliès’ Le Manoir du Diable in 1896 to contemporary movies, such as Late Night with the Devil and Longlegs. We will consider the psychology of fear and try to understand what “horror” means. We’ll also explore specific horror movies in the context of historical, cultural, social, economic, and political events. The presentation will touch upon important issues that the horror genre has tackled, including racism, grief, sexuality, technology, othering, environmentalism, mental health, war, and consumerism. We’ll review some of horror’s subgenres, including giallo/slasher, ecohorror, body horror, psychological horror, folk horror, found footage, extreme horror, and exploitation movies. Finally, we’ll examine some of horror’s cinematic sins, including its treatment of women, and the trope of conveying villainy or monstrosity through physical differences or disabilities. Students will receive a QR code to access a list of the movies and themes discussed during this event. Presenter: Neva Bryan
