Web site chronicles upcoming conference

www.uga.edu/carterconference

Planning for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s visit to UGA for the conference, “Lessons for the 21st Century,” is growing by the minute, and a new Web site is chronicling the action.

With new speakers announced each week the Carter Conference is more than a retrospective. Carter presided over a nation in the grips of dealings with the Middle East, rising gas prices and many more issues relevant to today’s political landscape.

Visitors to the Web site can find up-to-the-minute news about the conference as well as information about how to register for entry. The conference runs Jan. 19–21 at UGA.

Columns is produced by the UGA News Service, a unit of UGA Public Affairs.
