Windows to the Past is presented in part by the North Carolina Humanities Council.
“We believe that members of the human race become more constructively human…and aid the development of a more just and exciting society through thinking about – really thinking about – the human experience”. So wrote the late Dr. John Caldwell, former chancellor of North Carolina State University, and a founding member of the North Carolina Humanities Council.
In that letter to the Council written not long before his death in 1995, Caldwell was reflecting on the role of the humanities in the lives of North Carolinians. He dedicated much of his life to enriching the intellectual experience of all people, and his legacy lives on in thousands of individuals throughout Our State and around the world who continue to be inspired by his teaching.
The John Tyler Caldwell Award is the highest honor given by the NC Humanities Council. Past recipients include Fred Chappell, Emily Herring Wilson and John Hope Franklin. This year scholar, statesman, and NC Congressional Representative David Price accepted the John Tyler Caldwell Award for the Humanities, on Friday, October 21, at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. Prior to Representative Price receiving the award, Duke University President Richard Brodhead delivered the annual Caldwell Lecture in the Humanities. They shared their thoughts on the ceremony and the humanities with TAW host David Ford.

Triad Arts Up Close Scheduling Policies and Procedures
Scheduling for TAUC is done on a first-come, first-served basis in order to ensure equal access to coverage for all artists and arts organizations in the Piedmont Triad.
If you would like to arrange a broadcast date for TAUC, please call David Ford at 336.758.8853 (office) or email triadarts@wfu.edu. If you do not hear back from David within 2 business days, please make another attempt to contact him.
Please note: David is not able to respond to press releases or season calendars.
Plan to contact David 6 to 8 weeks prior to your event to arrange a broadcast date. This will not guarantee that there will be space available, but the month and a half lead time improves the likelihood that TAUC will be able to accommodate you. Some arts organizations plan their seasons many months in advance while others do not. To be fair to all groups, David will not reserve a broadcast date further out than 8 weeks in advance of the event.
In an effort to promote as many different Triad artists as possible, TAUC limits each individual artist and arts organization to three appearances per normal calendar year. Universities will be limited to two programs per academic calendar year per department (i.e. 2 TAUC shows to promote theatre department events; 2 TAUC shows to promote music department events, etc.).
We occasionally air rebroadcast TAUC programs. These encores frequently coincide with current or upcoming events, and for that reason they are scheduled on a week-to-week basis versus 6-8 weeks in advance. If you have an upcoming event, performance, milestone, exhibition, etc., and you feel that a repeat of one of your previous interviews on TAUC would be an appropriate way to promote it, please bring it to David's attention.
