Again this semester, Professor Cynthia Minet's Beginning Sculpture class is displaying their work in the Library.
Come to the 3rd floor of the Library to see a man pumping iron, a swimming elephant, and a sea lion eating a fish. These are three of the seven cardboard sculptures on display.
Most of the sculptures are near the south-facing windows. One is near the stairs.

ILLUSTRATED STUDENT ESSAYS ON DISPLAY!
Students in Sandra Hunter's English M01 class were required to read "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz, and write papers either comparing the main character Oscar to another literary character, or on the effect of the brutal Trujillo regime on women in the Dominican Republic.
As an alternative, the students could write a paper that explores a job or work study that prepares them for a career--including why they became interested in the career and how they found the job, a typical day on the job, analysis of a procedure or process in a typical day, and where they might be in five years time in pursuit of the career.
Several of the students illustrated their essays, and five of these are displayed on the west side of the LLR 2nd floor display case. Thanks to Sandra Hunter, as well as Zach Kaneshiro, Erica Orr, Allison Planck, Ben Torres, and Natalie Wood.
