UGA Alumni Association to host Founders’ Day Lecture
In observance of the University of Georgia’s 225th anniversary, Gary K. Bertsch, a former UGA faculty member and administrator, will present the Founders’ Day Lecture at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 27 in the UGA Chapel. Bertsch will discuss “UGA and ‘the rising hope of our land’ in a New World Order.” The lecture is open to the public.
The annual lecture recognizes the date UGA was established in 1785 when the Georgia General Assembly adopted a charter creating the university as the country’s first state-chartered institution of higher education. Undergraduate Josh McLaurin, an international affairs major, will deliver the student response to Bertsch’s presentation.
“Having Dr. Bertsch deliver our 225th anniversary lecture is a wonderful opportunity for the university,” said Deborah Dietzler, executive director of the UGA Alumni Association. “Given Gary’s broad international affairs experience, the lecture will be a great way to celebrate UGA’s anniversary.”
Bertsch joined the university as a faculty member in 1969 and is the founding director of UGA’s Center for International Trade and Security. He is also co-founder and co-director of the Delta Prize for Global Understanding, an annual university honor whose recipients include Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev and Desmond Tutu.

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.
