December 17, 2009 — Coy Barefoot spent 15 years researching University of Virginia history and seven years collecting oral histories for his award-winning book, "The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of Virginia." His daily radio talk show, "Charlottesville – Right Now!," hosts newsmakers behind local issues. For more than a decade, he's shared his encyclopedic local knowledge in dozens of lectures to community groups.
This spring, for the first time, Barefoot will draw on his experience to teach a seven-week course on the history of Charlottesville, Albemarle County and the University of Virginia. Open to anyone through U.Va.'s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, "Local History" classes will be held Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. beginning Jan. 25 at the Darden School of Business. U.Va. employees can pay for tuition with their annual $2,000 educational benefit.
