The Bubba Grills team flips their whole hog during the 2012 Brenau Barbecue Championship. Bubba Grills took fourth runner up in the whole hog category.
The fifth annual Brenau Barbecue Championship May 24-25 brings together 37 different cook teams from four states to battle for Memphis Barbecue Network and Georgia Barbecue Association amateur and professional titles as well as rights to compete the World Food Championship in Las Vegas.
This is the first time that the MBN and GBA teams have competed together at the Brenau festival, now regarded as one of the top regional competition events in the country. MBN participating “professional” teams will compete in three categories of Memphis-style deliciousness: whole hog, ribs and shoulder shank. Although the GBA competition replaces Brenau’s “Backyard Braggart” amateur competition, both professional and amateur teams can participate, serving up Boston Butt, ribs and pork loin. Some competitors though are competing in both MBN and GBA contests.

Those of you who have kindly volunteered to work at the Brenau Barbecue Championship, please come to the Walters House to pick up your “Event Staff” T-shirt to wear while you’re working the BBQ.
You may come by between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, or between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. any day of the work week starting now and ending Wednesday, May 22nd. If you can’t get by before the BBQ, we will have the remaining T-shirts (if there are any) at the volunteer table. We do not have a very big number left, so if you want one for sure, please come by sooner rather than later.
The Hall County Central Communications/E-911 will conduct an audible siren TEST of the severe weather warning citizen alert system on Wednesday at 10am. The siren TEST will last approximately three minutes.
Staff may now wear appropriate casual wear throughout the summer months until Aug. 9. All employees may wear jeans with a Brenau
shirt on ½ day-Fridays. Please check with your supervisor for dates on which this is not
appropriate.
According to section 2-03C of Brenau Employee Code, these are wardrobe selections never appropriate for the office:
flip-flops, tennis shoes, spandex, overalls, sweatpants, shorts, skorts, skirts shorter than the knee, spaghetti strap tank-tops, and clothing that reveals too much cleavage, back, stomach or undergarments. (Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions or sporting events are not appropriate for a professional appearance at work.)
Please join the Galleries for the opening reception of the President’s Summer Art Series exhibition on Thursday, May 16, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m in Sellars Gallery.
The exhibition features the work of four female artists with special ties to the Brenau community: Patricia Burd, Jean Westmacott, Jane Hemmer, and Mary Hart Wilheit.
The fire alarms on the Brenau University Gainesville campus are reguraly inspected and tested to maintain the safest environment possible for our students, faculty, staff, and guests. During these tests, the fire alarms are activated, meaning the strobe lights flash and audible alarms sound.
Testing and inspections will begin on Tuesday, May 14 and continue through Tuesday, May 21. Because of the number of alarms, pin-pointing a schedule is difficult. We will attempt to notify everyone within a particular building that the test is about to begin. However, we will likely miss someone, so we ask for your understanding.
Due to the operation of the Child Development Center, the building’s inspection will be performed after hours. Due to the size of the building, the Main Complex inspection will be performed on Friday afternoon. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mike Hollimon at mhollimon@brenau.edu or 770-531-3123, or Jediah Carling at jcarling@brenau.edu or 770-297-5897.
