Daffodils are blooming across metro Atlanta; and that means Daffodil Festival time on the GPC Newton Campus.

 The annual  two-day festival, March 31-April 1, opens at 10 a.m. and includes a performance of “Macbeth,” a discussion of poetry on the campus walking trail, and music on the lawn by the group, Coyote Bones.

 At 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, a panel discussion on how the criminal justice system sometimes fails—and how citizens can help effect change--will feature Aimee Maxwell, executive director of the Georgia Innocence Project. That event will be followed by “Poetry on the Trail,” with GPC professor Ted Worozbyt.

 Health and stress will be the focus of the events on Wednesday, April 1, when GPC psychology professor Diana Fuller presents “Health, Stress and Happiness” at 10 a.m., followed by the group “Georgians for a Healthy Future” at 11:30 a.m.  Wednesday’s offerings also include a presentation by students who are working to make a positive difference in their communities and student leaders who have developed a campaign, “It’s On Us,” to combat sexual violence.

 The walking trail is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days.
