Davidson Artist, Judith Olson Gregory, on Exhibit at Turchin Gallery
Davidson artist, Judith Olson Gregory, has transformed the Turchin Center’s Gallery A into a tranquil tea house for meditation, contemplation, and intimate conversation. As the world rapidly changes outside the walls of the center, sanctuary becomes even more important. Constructed from used tea bags and loose tea leaves, “Taking Tea” creates an immersion in a quiet, delicately scented world. The Turchin Center invites visitors to find shelter and inspiration through the visual arts. A university art gallery is a safe place to think and talk about ideas with others regardless of race, religion, gender identify, political persuasion. What better place than a tea house to cross cultural barriers and find common ground. Read More

Kellan Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson Declare for Draft - The Davidsonian

Sam Thomas Senior Sports Writer Photos courtesy of Tim Cowie Kellan Grady ‘21 and Jon Axel Gudmundsson ‘20 have declared for the 2019 NBA draft. Davidson’s starting backcourt looks to become the...Main Street Books is honored to host Sarah Perry, author of the memoir After the Eclipse and Davidson College McGee Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing.
When Sarah Perry was twelve, she saw a partial eclipse of the sun, an event she took as a sign of good fortune for her and her mother, Crystal. But that brief moment of darkness ultimately foreshadowed a much larger one: two days later, Crystal was murdered in their home in rural Maine, just a few feet from Sarah’s bedroom.
Told in searing prose, After the Eclipse is a luminous memoir of uncomfortable truth and terrible beauty, an exquisite memorial for a mother stolen from her daughter, and a blazingly successful attempt to cast light on her life once more.
Sarah Perry will be joined at Main Street Books by Marina Blitshteyn, who moved to the United States in 1991 as a refugee from the Soviet Union. She studied English at SUNY Buffalo, where she edited the longstanding annual Name poetry journal, and Creative Writing at Columbia University, where she also served as a University Writing Fellow and consultant.
Local Hough H.S. students are witnesses to this historic and tragic event. The students are safe, and have been checking in their their families via texts and phone calls. The group of 14 Advanced French students arrived in Paris this morning, and toured Notre Dame earlier in the day. They were still in Paris when the fire broke out, and have watched the efforts to bring the fire under control. One parent told us that the group of students is grieving alongside their Parisian counterparts in the wake of the fire.
