It is very important to plan for life after college, especially in the economy we live in today. Jobs are not guaranteed after graduation.

Don't forget the commuters

October 3, 2011
Fall Semester is filled with on-campus events and activities to get the school year started off right; however, most commuters are not aware of this.

There is a wolf in the gallery!

September 22, 2011
This is what students heard murmured through Folk Hall last week, as the gallery was being prepared up for the new contemporary photography show. One could have been sure that this was not a photography show; a full-sized, stuffed wolf was indeed standing alert in the middle of the gallery. How was this not a sculpture show? Peeking further in past the workers, one could see a large piece that stretched across the whole wall of the lower atrium that was undoubtedly a printmaking piece. The supposed “contemporary photography” show almost appeared to be, instead, a strange juxtaposition of other art mediums.
