Ten storytellers will take the stage Thursday afternoon in Old Cabell Hall for round two of the University of Virginia’s popular “Double Take” event. The premiere event helped celebrate the inauguration of Jim Ryan a year ago.
Students, faculty and staff will share personal stories at “Double Take: Stories That Make You Think Twice,” a TED-talk-like event that begins at 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Attendees may wish to grab a seat early – last year’s event packed Old Cabell Hall’s auditorium.
Presenters will include Kathy McGruder. Known lovingly to students as “Miss Kathy,” she has been the effervescent, welcoming face at the dining hall in Newcomb Hall for 17 years.
Paul Harris, an assistant professor in the Curry School of Education and Human Development, will reflect on what it means to go home.
