Don't Miss It!

Materialize

"Materialize" exhibition

The cold and dark of winter is a time for deep themes: love not hate, what kind of society do we desire to be, maybe a tale as old as time, as portrayed in "Disney's Beauty and the Beast." The artistic and intellectual life of the campus will evoke deep themes in word, song and imagery in these weeks. Don't Miss It!
