Sona Datta, PhD, a London-based curator, writer and broadcaster, will participate in a free screening of the first series of her BBC film entitled, “Treasures of the Indus: Pakistan Unveiled,” at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26, at the Maxwell Theatre on the Summerville Campus of Augusta University.

Approximately 15,000 local middle school students each year will learn valuable life skills, such as financial literacy and career readiness in an entertaining environment, thanks to the development of a new 30,000-square-foot Junior Achievement Discovery Center. Augusta University is proud to be a community partner in this project.
