For this year’s juried exhibition, students were asked to create up to four works that explored the concept of be(com)ing.

David Beck teaches digital art at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, and has shown his work extensively throughout the United States. His artwork is featured in the book GameScenes. Art in the Age of Videogames (John & Levi, 2006), the first volume entirely dedicated to game art.

The department of fine arts presents the student exhibitions with assistance from the Jeanne Scribner Cashin Endowment Fund and the gallery’s Barnes Endowment Fund.

After adventures in Japan and back in the states, Lee Welch ‘06 is off to Smith College to get her MSW degree!

Lee writes:
“Just recently I made my final decision and will be starting at the Smith College School for Social Work on June 1st. It is a wonderful school and a great program and I am thrilled to have this opportunity! I am very excited- in just two months I will be starting grad school. YIKES!!!

One of the reasons I am so excited about attending the Social Work program at Smith College is because it has a very unique schedule. This summer I will study on the Smith campus (with about 100 first years and 300 total social work students) during which an entire years worth of coursework is squeezed into 10 weeks…. and then from September through May, I will have a field placement. For my first internship, I have requested to be placed in either a school setting or a facility working with children and families. Smith’s program focuses on Clinical Social Work, so I know that wherever I am placed, it will provide me with a strong clinical background. ”

Best of luck, Lee!!!
