I saw this product and just had to share, it looks like something Erica Duffy-Voss would have done. It is called the privacy scarf.

For All You Type Lovers

A great audio piece from PRI's To the Best of Our Knowledge on fonts...

"The Internet is a free flow of ideas where everyone can say whatever they want. But for all its splashy graphics and Flash animation, there's one thing that makes the Internet looks the same. Its name is Verdana. And it's a font. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll talk with Matthew Carter, the designer of Verdana, the Internet font. Also, the creators of Obama's font, Gotham -- The font of Hope and Change."

Two great art openings Friday!

Georgetown College presents two great exhibitions for Homecoming opening this Friday!

First, join us in the Cochenour Gallery (located in the LRC) any time between 12 and 2 for "Coming Home...a retrospective of the home economics major." Support the students from Curatorial Studies (Hannah Snider, Rebecca Redding, Stephanie Boxx, Cortney Thorn, Angelina McCoy, Ashley Mitchell, Nick Wagner, Megan Sauter, Matt Thompson), enjoy some dainty delights courtesy of GC alum Amanda Hervey, and learn about the former Home Ec major.

Later, "Georgetown College Art Alumni Exhibition" opens in the Anne Wright Wilson Gallery (art building on the corner of College and Mulberry streets). The opening reception will last from 5-7 (just before Songfest!) and all are invited to join us for a variety of art, food, and an art department reunion.

Both exhibitions will run through November, 13th but you won't want to miss either of these spectacular opening receptions!
