SUMMARY:Dempsey Dash 2026 - Brenau University
DESCRIPTION:On March 14\, Brenau University will host its annual Dempsey Dash 5K and 1K Fun Run in memory of the university’s long-time executive vice president and CFO\, Wayne Dempsey. The event benefits the Wayne W. Dempsey Endowed Scholarship Fund\, first funded in Dempsey’s memory in 2014 by an anonymous donor. \nOfficial Dempsey Dash T-shirts provided for all pre-registered participants by February 20. All other registered participants through race day will receive shirt while supplies last. \nWhy A Bowtie?\nThose who knew Dr. Dempsey remember him as quite the clotheshorse. Always dressed to the nines\, he had a reputation for impeccable style. He was almost always seen around campus in a well-coordinated suit and tie or a fashionable sport coat. Even his sons recall him as a younger man cutting the grass in a pair of penny loafers! It’s unclear exactly how his signature bow tie habit began. His older son claims to have started wearing bow ties in the late 80s\, forging his own fashion identity. The elder Dempsey\, admiring the look\, decided to give them a try himself. Taking it a step further\, Dr. Dempsey even sought out lessons to learn how to tie them properly. He and his son spent hours practicing and mastering the skill. From there\, the trademark look was born. Dr. Dempsey frequently sported bow ties in his daily professional life\, and they became his calling card. After his passing\, his sons inherited his tie collection\, and one continues to wear the bow ties today. In this way\, the bow tie has become a unique and touching way to remember a great and unique man \nWhen to pick up participant bags or shirts?\nSaturday\, at registration/check-in.

SUMMARY:Homeschool Intensive: World War II - NEGA History Center
DESCRIPTION:Homeschool Intensive: World War II\nThursday\, March 19th | 10:30 AM; 12:15 PM \nLed by Historian Glen Kyle \nThe intensive classes are in lieu of the regular monthly Homeschool Day\, students grades 6th-12th ONLY. Pre-registration is required. There will be a small free activity for the younger siblings of those families who wish to wait instead of dropping off their student.\nTwo class options are available (each class is capped at 30 students to ensure a quality experience) – tickets available for each or both classes. \nPLEASE EXAMINE THE CLASS AND TICKET OPTIONS CAREFULLY \nClass 1: 10:30AM – Homefront and Battlefront: American in WWII\nThe United States entered World War II after a decade of isolationism\, desperate to avoid another global conflict. Draw in by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941\, it fought on every continent and emerged a nuclear superpower.  Using real objects from the time\, this class will examine the American experience of soldiers\, sailors\, and airmen overseas as well as the lives of those on the home front who sacrificed and fought for liberty around the world. \nClass 2: 12:15PM – Allied for Victory: Great Britain and the Soviet Union in WWII\nThe United States certainly didn’t win WWII on its own; indeed\, it was only a single nation in the “Big Three” that also included England and Russia.  Only by working together were the main allies able to defeat the Germans and Japanese\, but only with great sacrifice. Through real historical objects from both countries\, we’ll explore the individual British and Soviet soldier’s experiences\, and properly contextualize their contributions alongside those of the United States. \nPre-Registration Link Now Open!

SUMMARY:Voices for Community - Brenau University
DESCRIPTION:Voices for Community is a special event hosted by the Miller Institute for Global Education to celebrate the many cultures and countries represented at Brenau University. \nAt the Miller Institute\, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. Our campus is filled with students from different parts of the world\, each bringing their own traditions\, experiences\, and perspectives. This event creates a space where those cultures can be shared\, appreciated\, and celebrated together. \nThe Miller Institute not only supports international students\, but also creates opportunities for domestic students to learn about the world around them. We want students to discover new cultures\, understand different ways of life\, and grow as global citizens without even leaving campus. \nWe are organizing this event to strengthen connections between students and to build a stronger sense of community. When we come together through music\, food\, art\, and conversation\, we grow not only as students\, but as future leaders. \nThe theme of the event is peace and love. Our goal is for everyone to feel welcomed\, respected\, and proud of where they come from. Voices for Community is a reminder that even though we may come from different places\, we all belong here at Brenau.
