Faculty & Staff Art featured at Physical Sciences & Biological Sciences Open House

November 17, 2003

On Friday, November 14, the Divisions of Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences hosted an Open House from 11am to 1pm in the atrium of the new Natural Sciences Building.

Faculty and Staff contributed a show of their own art including painting, drawing, watercolor, photography, quilting, crafts, science art, woodworking and music. Both visitors and participants were excited and surprised by the variety and quality of the work that was displayed, prompting many to express an interest in making the art show an annual event.

The event drew visitors from the campus community, giving them a chance to locate and tour the new building, as well as students, staff and faculty eager to share their creative interests.

The Natural Sciences Building was completed in mid-2003 and is now the home of the Divisional Deans for Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences as well as state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, and an NMR facility.

Many thanks to everyone who participated, and especially to the people who hatched the idea and worked hard make it happen: Barbara Seipel, Julia Guevara, Jane Weber, Carol Spencer, Robert Musial, Sherry Seethaler, Kim McDonald, Laura Moore, Pam Daener, Barbra Blake, and Pat Walsh.
