Students in Professor Caroline Hunt’s English 110 course, part of the learning community Critical Thinking: Catalyst for Success collected and delivered bottle caps and lids for the Bryant Holsenbeck installation
Students in Professor Caroline Hunt’s English 110 course, part of the learning community Critical Thinking: Catalyst for Success collected and delivered bottle caps and lids for the Bryant Holsenbeck installation, researched both the history of mandalas and the work of the artist and volunteered to assist with the mandala construction.
The learning community enables incoming freshman considering majors in biological sciences and mathematics to engage in classes offering peer facilitation, supplemental instruction, active learning, problem-solving and social activities.

Basket Making

Join Basket Maker Dorinda Harmon. She’s thinking of cornhusk angels – “good for gifts, tree-toppers, or you know it never hurts to have an angel hanging about” – but she is open to suggestions! If you have attended Dorinda’s sessions before, you know that she’s a great teacher and the session is full of fun and laughter. This is the one I gave as a gift last year with an iTunes gift certificate in it!

Origami Ornament
December 13
12:00-1:00
Human Resources Conference Room
Regina Semko will lead us in making an Origami Crane. The Crane or “tsuru” in Japanese is one of the oldest birds on earth and has a long history in Japanese tradition and legends. Cranes stand for peace, happiness, eternal youth and long life. They are used in Japanese weddings, as cranes mate for life and are devoted to their partners. Folded paper cranes are given to wish a speedy recovery to those ill. It is said that 1,000 folded paper cranes will make a wish come true.
A selection of pretty papers will be available.
