Jay Leno, we know that name, but did you know he did an ASUP show in the Chiles Center on December 8, 1988? And remember how more recently, the Grimm television show filmed on campus, bringing Hollywood to UP with trailers, electrical cables, and disguised buildings and signs? Or when Will Geer, who play Grandpa on “The Waltons,” led campus drama workshops? The Dalai Lama has been here twice; though perhaps we protest too much? Check out this small slice of UP’s star-struck past in “Brushes with Fame,” the latest entry in the University Museum and Archives blog. Follow this link to find out more.
