Students in Assistant Professor of Drama Bill Munoz's class showed off their stage combat skills on the quad.

This multimedia sculpture by Associate Professor of Art Brent Skidmore is now on display in the stairwell of Ramsey Library.

Artist Statement: In 2016, after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando , FL, I was processing great grief that related to my friends who have been continually challenged, threatened and even harmed because they are gay. Many of these friends have been huge pillars of my support and love that I call on often. One of these men I would credit with saving my life. As I write this, I am still overcome with sadness. I often move through these grief spaces by making art and during this summer I took the time to celebrate this community of people by making what I hope would be a celebration of ALL of their lives.

I built this piece as a protective prayer for them all.

Craftivism= Craft + Activism

This quilt was created by the students of the First Year Seminar Craftivism class as an exercise to introduce them to practicing craftivism. Each student was given the opportunity and freedom to create a quilt square however they wish. Their artistic expression could be something abstract, personal, or political.
