Summer catch-up.
Hello alumni,
Whew! We had a busy spring and early summer here in the alumni relations office, so my apologies for being behind on blogging.
I would like to share with you a fun experience I had in late April. The printmaking department had its 3rd Annual Road Roller Print Event, and two alumni joined printmaking faculty and students in the parking lot of Vanderslice Hall for the festivities: Ben Jones (`08 printmaking) and Lloyd Patterson, Jr. (`99 scultpure).
It was a hot, sticky day (even in April!), and many participants shed their outer wear to cool down. Krystal Kuhn (`11 printmaking), one of the alumni office’s work study students, even got a bit of a sunburn. Despite the discomfort of the unusually warm weather, merriment and beautiful prints were made. As you can see below, Ben manned the steam roller, and he did a terrific job.
