ArtWalk: Following in the Footsteps of Greatness
Join University Museums on a journey across campus as we follow in the footsteps of one of our most prominent alumni, George Washington Carver. We'll take a historic stroll to examine the campus through the lens of this legend of agriculture. Meet your guide in front of the Sloss Women's Center, east of the Campanile.
