–ZSR Library, Special Collections & Archives Research Room (Room 625)Tobacco has played a significant role in shaping North Carolina’s cultural, economic, and social identity, even before the state’s official establishment. Early depictions of Native American communities along the coast at the end of the 16th century show cultivation and use of the plant.
During the 19th century, tobacco became a cornerstone of the plantation economy, generating immense wealth for select families. In the 20th century, the rise of mass production and commercialization, along with an expanding labor force dedicated to its cultivation and processing, further embedded tobacco in North Carolina’s way of life. Marketing campaigns and iconic imagery tied to tobacco are deeply woven into the state’s historical narrative.
This exhibit showcases images, artifacts, and records from Special Collections & Archives, spanning from the sixteenth century to the modern era. It also features contributions from North Carolina artists and photographers, including Daisha Bunn and Erin Kye and their families, as well as works by photographer Dan Routh.
–ZSR Library, Faculty Commons Classroom 665Meets three times this semester (9/17, 9/24 & 10/1) on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30pm in ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing). We will provide the book for the first 15 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you register only if you are available to attend all sessions.
Join your colleagues for a timely discussion of Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger’s The Opposite of Cheating, a guide to fostering academic integrity in the era of generative AI. During this discussion, we’ll explore the book’s research-backed strategies for understanding and preventing cheating, not just as a disciplinary measure, but as an opportunity to enhance student learning and personal growth. We’ll talk about practical suggestions for reframing conversations around integrity, redesigning assessments, and ultimately, creating classrooms that prioritize meaningful interaction and support students’ development.
