At the invitation of Warren Pettit, director of the Contemporary Christian Music program at Greenville College, Grammy Award winning CCM band Jars of Clay paid a visit to their alma mater to share some of their experiences, both at GC and in Nashville, with current students. Following a suprise appearance at a Monday evening Lab Band workshop, the band participated in Studio Master Classes and CCM Seminar on Tuesday. They concluded their visit with an acoustic set and Q & A session in Chapel Wednesday morning.

Rumors and speculation flew around the Greenville College campus Monday as students discussed the "special visitors" coming for the evening's Lab Band workshop. However, few actually figured it out and as the students walked into the Blackroom they were surprised to see Dan, Matt, Steve and Charlie of Jars of Clay. The band members made the surprise visit to Greenville, their first since moving to Nashville in 1994 (with the exception of four Agape performances), on an invitation from their former professor, Warren Pettit. They stayed on campus through Wednesday critiquing campus bands, sitting in on studio classes, talking with students, visiting WGRN (the college radio station) and enjoying Jo's Java (the new coffeeshop on campus). The band played a short acoustic set Tuesday evening for CCM Seminar class, prior to answering questions posed by students, and then played a second acoustic set during Wednesday morning's chapel service.
