Join Augusta University in Values Week Celebrations
Wednesday, October 19th, 2022
During the fifth-annual Values Week from Nov. 7-13, Augusta University is celebrating its six core values — collegiality, compassion, excellence, inclusivity, integrity and leadership — with a week of events.
This celebration coincides with the University System of Georgia’s Ethics Awareness Week.
In addition to the week’s events, the university will host a blanket drive to benefit the Center for Patients and Families at Augusta University Health. New, store-bought blankets can be dropped off at the Greenblatt or Reese libraries as well as Annex I from Nov. 1-22.
Additionally, from Nov. 7-11, Reese Library will host a book display in celebration of disability awareness. Displayed books will cover disability rights, disability advocacy, disability organizations and feature authors who have disabilities and write about their experiences.
