1. Humanities Week 2023: Back to the Present

   • Humanities Week 2023: Back to the Present. This IHGC-sponsored series of events is hosted by and for UVA undergraduates from across disciplines in a celebration of the Humanities! This year's theme, "Back to the Present," is an homage to the fact that many of us are still "catching up" to the rapid social and technological changes that took place during the pandemic. Join us for some of our nearly dozen events, including a Back to the Future movie viewing, a "Human or AI?" trivia competition in Bryan, and a tabletop showcase featuring board games designed by ENWR students! : https://www.hw-uva.com/
