My ideas:
1. Where are they now? A look at students who were at UGA 50 years ago and what they are up to now. Also, get their thoughts on how the desegregation of the school affected their experience and the rest of their lives.
2. The process of desegregation at UGA. Going back through the history and key players that made the major changes at UGA.
3. Admissions- looking into UGA and other Georgia and or Southern schools admissions and the racial ratios.
4. A time line of UGA since desegregation; how different is it 50 years later.
5. A day in the life of: going through the day of the average UGA student 50 years ago. Covering everything from textbook prices, class sizes, to fashion.
6. Asking students and teachers their opinions of race relations at UGA, are there still issues 50 years later?
7. Because of the snowpocalypse it would be nice to go over the events that already happened- a recap of the celebrations.
8. What are our goals for the next 50 years? Speak to not only students but department heads about what they feel UGA should strive towards over the next 50 years.
9. More in depth book reviews of the "books in print" section on the UGA desegregation website.
10. Highlighting clubs and organizations on UGA's campus that work to spread diversity and continue the positive changes post desegregation. Examples: NABJ, pamoja dance company....
11. It is not only the 50th anniversary of desegregation, but it is also UGA's 226th birthday. It would be interesting to go over what the school was like 226 years ago and compare it to 50 years ago and today.
12. What can you do to contribute to furthering UGA and your community's diversity?
