The Trial Gardens at the University of Georgia evaluate the newest ornamental plants from top breeding companies located around the world. We are the “go-to” garden in the arena of testing plants for adaptability to heat and humidity. Tucked away on UGA’s South Campus, our garden is a perfect place to escape and take a breather from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life. We have shaded benches and a gazebo in the center of the garden. This tour includes one acre of garden and greenhouse areas.

The University of Georgia is one of the few campus law enforcement agencies in the country to have a full response Explosive Ordinance Disposal (bomb team) that serves as not only as a resource to the University community but also the neighboring areas surrounding us. The team consists of multiple EOD technicians who are certified in handling and rendering safe hazardous devices as well as multiple K-9 units that aid in the location of devices. The team is outfitted with a truck, robot, total containment vessel and numerous other items that they use when responding to incidents. The team will speak about the training that they undergo in order to be certified, the types of calls they respond to and showcase some of the equipment that they use while responding to calls. The truck and K-9s will also be at River's Crossing for the class.

Land records are treasure troves for family historians. Whenever a country claims new territory, it must decide how to divide and distribute that land—creating a detailed paper trail that often stretches back centuries. Because land ownership is so vital, these records are among the first to be re-recorded after disasters like fires, floods, or earthquakes. Yet, the unfamiliar language—terms such as dower, escheatment, and warrant—can make these documents seem intimidating. As a result, many researchers either overlook them or miss the rich clues they contain. Learning to interpret land records correctly can open powerful new pathways for solving family-history puzzles.

One and a half million adults and three million children each live on less than $2.00 per day in the U.S. How is this possible, what do people affected do to make ends meet, and why does it matter? This presentation provides students an opportunity to examine various explanations for extreme poverty as well as economic survival strategies through readings, discussion, and experiential learning. Topics include poverty measurements, social policy, the labor market, and the informal economy–and a diverse array of strategies used by those impacted such as off-the-books legal work, illegal work, trade and support through social networks, use of credit/borrowing, and others.
