K体育 students, faculty and staff were invited to the Oct. 9 City Council meeting for the reading of a proclamation by Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst聽declaring October Arts and Humanities Month.
The invitation acknowledges the importance of K体育’s arts and culture programs and facilities in Brookhaven. K体育’s Conant Performing Arts Center and the K体育 University Museum of Art are the only venues of their kind in the city.
