TO: UCR Faculty, Staff, Students, and Alumni
On behalf of the entire UCR community, I want to

devastated by Hurricane Katrina. As the full magnitude of this
tragedy continues to unfold, we offer our aid, our expertise, and
our prayers. To those of you who have family members or other loved
ones in the affected area, we offer our moral support and ask you to
let us know of any way in which the campus community can help.

UC Riverside ‘Pottermania 2005’ Calls on Muggle
Scholars for Insights
The Pottermania 2005 mini-conference at UC
Riverside, set for noon to 4 p.m. Oct. 14 in UCR's Humanities 1500, is a
joint effort of UCR’s English Department and the Center for Ideas and
Society. The gathering aims to attract students, scholars, the press,
fans of J.K. Rowling's novels and the general public, so organizers have
issued a call for papers with more emphasis on entertainment than is
usually expected at academic gatherings. The event will include experts
in children's literature and popular culture from many different
universities.
