- 8:00 AM9hAAHD Gallery Exhibition: "The Sound of Found Objects" by Neill PrewittWe are thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition, The Sound of Found Objects by the talented Neill Prewitt, at A|AH|D Gallery (room 214) in Riley Hall. You're invited to join us at the opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31, where you'll have the chance to experience a captivating performance at 5:30 p.m. Get ready to be inspired and moved by Prewitt's remarkable work, on display from August 31 until September 28, 2023. --- Artist Statement In The Sound of Found Objects, an installation by Neill Prewitt, a group of everyday objects come alive, moving and singing in video projections synchronized across the four walls of the gallery. Rhythm, both visual and musical, animates what were once an unremarkable lot of found objects, and frees them from the semantic dead-end of their ordinary use. Both immersive and non-narrative, the installation encourages playfulness to reanimate our relationship to ordinary things. During his visit to campus Prewitt will also lead the participatory performance Found Object Choir, in which he facilitates the audience improvising movement and sound with found objects. Biography Neill Prewitt works in video, sound, performance, and installation. Neill has produced videos and installations that have been shown nationally at 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, FL; Lump in Raleigh, NC; and Freedman Gallery at Albright College in Reading, PA. He has performed and produced participatory art at numerous sites nationally including Satellite Art Show Miami; Amos Eno Gallery in Brooklyn, NY; OBX Art Truck in Elizabeth City, NC; and Silent Barn in Brooklyn.

- 9:30 AM7hSpotlight Exhibit — "Football and Community at Historically Black Colleges and Universities"From its origins on campus in the late nineteenth century, football at Historically Black Colleges and Universities has held a central place in the African American sporting experience, in the landscape of Black higher education, and in the broader African American community. During the era of Jim Crow segregation, the vast majority of African American college students and student athletes attended HBCUs. Over the first half of the twentieth century, many of the yearly gridiron contests between rival HBCUs developed into highly anticipated annual events that combined football with larger celebrations of African American achievement and excellence. The yearly games brought together members of the African American community and came to include a wide range of associated events including dances, parades, musical shows, fundraising drives, and other festivities. We are pleased to exhibit a selection of sources from the Joyce Sports Research Collection that preserve the history of HBCU football. The programs, media guides, ephemera, guidebooks, and other printed material on display document the athletic accomplishments, the celebrations, the spectacle, and the community-building that accompany football at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This exhibit is curated by Greg Bond, curator of the Joyce Sports Research Collection and the Sports Subject Specialist for Hesburgh Libraries. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours. Open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff, the public, alumni and friends.

Flu Vaccine Blitz Registration Tips to staying healthy during flu season:Get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccines are available on campus at this Annual Flu Vaccine Blitz, while supplies last.Wash your hands. Frequent hand washing offers the best protection against the flu. Alcohol-based hand wipes or gel sanitizers help, too. Avoid contact with sick people.Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Difficult? Yes. Effective? Very.According to the CDC, last year’s flu vaccines reduced the risk of influenza A-related hospitalization among adults by nearly half. Vaccination also provided significant protection against flu-related illness and flu-related emergency department visits, with people who were vaccinated about half as likely to have those outcomes as people who had not been vaccinated. This trend was also seen at UHS last year as the volume and severity of flu cases seen by our providers were among the lowest in the past seven years. This is directly attributable to the very high influenza vaccination rate attained by the student community. Originally published at hr.nd.edu.
