Cultural and Entertainment Programs
A wide spectrum of cultural and entertainment programs is provided for students through the dance-concert series, film series, and Lyceum series. Outstanding members of the creative and performing arts are brought to campus to enrich the educational, personal, social, and cultural components of the student life. These programs are funded by Student Activity fees.

Cullum Lecture Series: Each spring Augusta State University undertakes an inter-disciplinary educational program called the Cullum Lecture Series. The series often deals with other cultures, focusing on a specific country through visiting scholars, films, theatrical productions, and art exhibits. Some students sign up for special courses offered by their major department. Others choose to come only for the exhibitions and special lectures. This program has been identified by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities as one of the country's ten most innovative programs. It is made possible by a grant from the Cullum Foundation of Augusta and is open to the community.

Lyceum Series: The Augusta State University Lyceum Committee was formed with the spirit of the ancient Lyceum in mind. The committee presents to the Augusta State University community the finest in stimulating and entertaining lectures, debates, and plays. The result has been a series of uniformly high quality programs funded by Student Activity fees.

Film Series:Each semester from August through May the university presents up to ten films of outstanding international reputation. Most have been unavailable in local theaters or rental outlets. The series thus provides film students and film lovers with an invaluable opportunity to study the art of cinema.
