Today, we mourn the passing of Ted Turner, the Georgia man who revolutionized the broadcast media industry. Thankfully, his story will live on. We are proud to share Turner's legacy through the memorabilia and documents on display at the Ted Turner Exhibition Hall and Ted Turner Gallery at the UGA Special Collections Libraries Building. We are deeply honored that Turner chose our Special Collections Libraries for the privilege of sharing his story.

Congratulations to our graduating student workers! Each day leading up to graduation, we will be highlighting grads from across the UGA Libraries network. First up: our workers from Special Collections!

Jacob Griner is a graduating intern in the Brown Media Archives and former Special Collections student assistant and docent. He will attend Syracuse University this fall to pursue an MA in the History of Art and is grateful for the mentorship and hands-on experience that shaped his time at UGA.
