A few upcoming noteworthy dates. Although the midpoint of fall semester is October 8, the midpoint withdrawal deadline is Thursday, October 22. Unless there are mitigating circumstances documented by the Office of Student Affairs, any student who withdraws from a class after that date receives a WF for the course.
Also, fall break is Friday, October 30. Please note that day is the first of six furlough days for UGA. Aside from a few core functions, UGA will be closed. Faculty and staff have been instructed not to come to campus that day or conduct any work-related activities, which includes responding to student email messages. So if you need to contact one of our faculty, send them an email before that date.

Dirty Book sale
For those of you who like to read for fun and not because you have to, the UGA Press' Dirty Book Sale will be held October 1 & 2 at the Tate Center Plaza. No, they're not the adult material kind of dirty. They're books that have been damaged, some just slightly, some moreso, but all being sold dirt cheap. Who knows? Maybe you'll find something related to international affairs/relations amongst the stacks.

Congratulations to alumnus Robert Kazer (AB, '09) on being a recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship for 2009-2010. He will spend a year in Jordan and will conduct research on the origins and establishment of Jordanian domestic policies focused on Iraqi refugees. His analysis will highlight how these policies relate to the country’s experience with Palestinian refugees. He already has studied in Morocco and taken Arabic language courses in Jordan and Yemen.
