REL Looks Back
In getting ready for the new semester, we’ve decided to look back at how we’ve welcomed everyone back in past semesters. Our 2012 video (which was our first welcome back video!) followed the intro style of a particular 70s sitcom — can anyone guess which one it was? We made it driving around town with our camera person leaning out the widow. #behindthescenes Welcome Back! from UA Religious Studies. […]
Whose Line Is It Anyway?
It’s a new academic year so, yes, we have some new posters going up around Manly Hall — one being the new and improved faculty display case.

So, as everyone settles in for another year, the REL faculty have just one thing to say: Welcome Back 2015 from UA Religious Studies. P.S. You’ll surely notice some new […]
Welcome (back) mat
Last night’s “Week of Welcome” kick off event, held in Coleman Coliseum, was far better attended than we had imagined. The Religious Studies Student Association was there, along with Profs. Finnegan, Ramey (also representing Asian Studies), and Touna. Along with a few thousand incoming first year students. So, you know those 1,000 “welcome (back) mat” buttons that we got this summer, some of which we thought we’d bring to the first day of REL classes…? Well, they’re all gone. But […]
