Join Dan this summer in his quest for the funniest movies. We'll view 'Nothing Sacred' (1937) with Carole Lombard and Frederic March. Then we'll watch the original screwball comedy, 'Harold and Maude' (1971) with Ruth Gordon at her wackiest. We'll end with 'Every Girl Should Be Married' (1948) featuring Cary Grant and Betsy Drake, in which a woman sets her sights on marrying Mr. Grant. Stand in line, sister.

Come enjoy these photographs of the natural world in Virginia and twenty other states across the nation. These images from nature, both landscapes and wildlife in and out of our natural public lands, have been the foundation for the active support for the conservation and preservation of our natural environment. Come hear the stories of their captures and celebrate and connect with the remarkable and striking natural world in which we live.


Every day, starting on 08/12/24 and ending on 08/12/24, BUS, Ukrop Auditorium Q162
Songwriters are modern-day bards who serve as historians and preservers of the oral tradition of our culture. Songs reflect and influence what humans consider important: ideas, feelings, and stories, often using poetic imagery. What do women songwriters and singers have to tell us? We'll talk about Loretta Lynn, Shania Twain, Kacey Musgraves, Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlisle, and Nanci Griffith.


Fridays, Aug 2 and 9, Synchronous Online
