MULTICULTURAL DAY DESIGN CONTEST WINNERS ON DISPLAY!

Congratulations to Mitchell Carlson, Dan Leidenfrost, and Elena Avanesova--the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in the 2012 Multicultural Day Thematic Design Contest. The theme this year is "Dance with the Conflict," and Mitchell's winning design will be used on all of the publicity for the event--including the sweatshirts and t-shirts available for purchase later this semester.

The three winning designs, as well as the designs of the rest of the contest participants, are on display in the case right inside the east front door of Library Learning Resources. All of the participants are students in Professor Joseph Martin's GR M31 Graphic Design Class.

STUDENT SCULPTURES ON DISPLAY IN THE LIBRARY

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.
