Events

TAK is the host of the Department's monthly lunchtime
discussion series (all majors and minors in the Department
are invited).
|
|
In 2008 TAK began a tradition of attending the regional
conference of the American Academy of Religion. So...
|
 |
|
We're considering attending the Southeastern Regional Conference
in March 13-15, 2009--to be held this time in Chapel Hill,
NC. If you're interested in attending, then speak to one of
the TAK officers.
The officers are looking into whether financial assistance
will again be available through UA's Student Government Association.
