Community Calendar

Mark your calendars—Rainbow Riot hits the track June 21st! Three back-to-back bouts, big derby energy, and a celebration of community and pride.

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure elevations and accurately define the surface of the ground even in highly vegetated conditions. It has been used in Europe and in Central and South America to identify structures and features obscured by trees or agricultural crops. The drawdown of Lake Wateree by Duke Energy provided an excellent opportunity to employ LiDAR to locate potential earthworks, structures and other landform features obscured by the lake since the 1920s.

The Native American Studies Center invites you to a special reception for the new exhibit, “By Way of Water: Reviving & Reimagining Catawba Art Forms,” showcasing the work of Catawba artists Aaron Baumgardner, Teresa Dunlap, DeLesslin George-Warren, and Alex Osborn. This exhibit features the timeless artistry of pottery and baskets to the bold expressions of digital photography, woodblock printing, and multimedia installations.

The State of Black Health conference is where hundreds of community leaders and equity advocates from every background come to address themes and find solutions for the social and economic injustices that have marginalized Black communities and led to deep health disparities.

This year’s theme, A Call for Health Justice, is a summons for health equity advocates to present on the programs and initiatives that have helped move the needle toward improved health outcomes in our communities.

Within our Wellness and Chronic Disease Reduction, Institutional Reform, and Economic Advancement conference tracks, we offer stimulating panel discussions, engaging breakout sessions, and networking opportunities for attendees.
