Humanities Welcome Back Party

The Piedmont College humanities department held its annual welcome back party last Thursday. The event was a great success, with more than 30 students and the entire humanities faculty gathering in the courtyard beside Mason-Scharfenstein Museum of Art for good conversation and Copper Pot's legendary specialty pizza. A big welcome and thanks to the Museum's new director Daniel White, who opened the courtyard for the party. Thanks also to Bethany Murley for taking the pictures. Studying the humanities at PC brings many a reason to smile!

Trillium Editors Visit to Clayton State University

Kelley, Staples, and Meeks
Dr. Heidi Lynn Staples, Meghan Meeks, and Hillary Kelley attended the launch of Clayton State University's literary and arts journal, The Cygnet. The event was held at the beautiful college located in Morrow, Ga. The Trillium staffers got to have a meet and greet with the adviser, Brigitte Byrd, and the staff of Cygnet.
Scary swan....

 Between the meet and greet and the actual ceremony, there was time to enjoy the nature around the campus that includes a lake and some kinda friendly, kinda scary creatures.

The friendly turtle and his duck companion.
Then came the ceremony for which everyone received a free copy of the beautifully done Cygnet. Following introductions, there were many readings and the closing to a night of great conversation and literary greatness.
