As an adjunct at Elon University, your support in this urgent is most appreciated. To help us, please make a short call to President Book at 336-278-2900 and ask her to drop all legal delays, respect democracy, and bargain with Elon adjuncts immediately! #adjunctsbELONg ** Share this video on social media with #adjunctsbELONg and tag @Elon University! This is our story. We formed our union to create just and equitable working conditions for Elon adjunct/contingent faculty, for our students' educations, and for our university's bright future. Unfortunately, the Elon University administration is obstructing our union at every step, wasting university funds that could be better put toward educating students. We're calling on our administration to drop the legal appeals, respect democracy, and bargain with us in good faith!

Woodstock and Beyond: Songs of Love and Protest by The Quadrivium Project
Featuring Jim on percussion Quadrivium: the four subjects of a medieval university curriculum, comprised of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. The mission of The Quadrivium Project is to engage faculty and students in a collaborative model based on creative destruction and renewal. TQP’s primary directive illustrates the arts’ (music in this case) potential on campus to catalyze disparate disciplines through synchronic intellectual and creative action. More simply put, The Quadrivium Project is NC State University’s faculty rock band. It’s also a research project (Quadrivium Project) for the group members and their students, fully embracing NC State’s brand theme of Think and Do. Looking at the music, artistry, history, culture, fashion, physical and emotional well-being, and technology of the artists whose music TQP plays, as well as the logistics of performing a professional rock show with state-of-the-art lighting, design, projections and sound, this research not only informs the performances but also provides students with entrepreneurial opportunities. While the Quadrivium Project band’s performances are the public face of the project, and, let’s be honest – a really engaging and fun time for the members! – it’s the research and resulting student projects that will be prove to be the longest lasting and most meaningful contributions. Current and former student projects, emanating from students in a wide variety of majors, are moving from thinking and into doing and will allow other live music groups to benefit from new items which are aimed at making live contemporary music performances more easily successful.

The ArtsCenter’s annual Songs from the Circle shows are a celebration of the best in classic American Folk and Bluegrass.
In spring 2012 local guitarist Danny Gotham organized a memorable benefit concert involving a live presentation of songs from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s iconic album of 40 years prior, Will the Circle Be Unbroken. Danny and his colleagues have made this a tradition at The ArtsCenter, and Songs from the Circle returns for its 11th incarnation this year on June 14th. This event builds on the material of the album, paying homage in a more general sense to the classics, with an occasional original that stays in the spirit of classic country and bluegrass.
Tickets $15. The Circle Crew for this event includes Jim Watson, Rebecca Newton, Danny Gotham, Hank and Pattie, Mike Babyak, Jan Johansson, FJ Ventre, Isabel Taylor, Larry Nixon, Stan Lewis, Jim Roberts, Scott McBride, Tommy Goldsmith, and Barry Gray.
