Current Students Events

William Elliott Stiles Jr. - an accomplished artist, Atlanta attorney and University of Georgia School of Law alumnus - will unveil a new work of art that was commissioned by the law school to commemorate the 60th anniversary of desegregation at UGA. The new creation will be displayed alongside other pieces of Stiles' "Concept Collection" that were donated to the school in 2018.

Stiles said in his new piece, titled "1961," he tried to depict the historic events of the desegregation of the University of Georgia and the Georgia public school system.

The UGA College of Environment and Design's Ferguson Lecture titled "Why Old Places Matter: Heritage, Belonging, and Place" will be delivered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's General Counsel Tom Mayes. He will explore why old places matter and how saving and reusing the old places in our communities support our sense of well-being. Mayes is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Rome Prize and author of Why Old Places Matter.

Beginning on March 3 and each following Wednesday at 9 a.m., Career Development and Advancement will host eight students and one attorney over zoom for small group networking over coffee, or a morning beverage of choice. The series, titled 9@9, is designed to create more intimate networking and learning sessions for students. Each session will be about 40 minutes: 30 minutes to hear from the Attorney and then about 10 minutes for questions.

This event is envisioned to be a more informal setting to interact with UGA Law alumni.
