The catalog documenting RWU’s first ever campus-wide Art On Campus exhibition was released on July 31, following a yearlong exhibition of Visual Arts Faculty art work on campus. The exhibition, originally scheduled for Fall 2011 and opened in conjunction with the October inauguration of President Donald Farish, was held over for the entire year through Alumni Weekend in June 2012 due to the tremendous response to the quality and range of expressions in faculty work exhibited. This effort to celebrate the arrival of our new president and the arts at more than 20 interior and exterior sites on campus has energized the entire university community, and has brought together people across the institution at installations in numerous academic buildings, the University Commons, the Recreation Center, the Alumni and Admissions Center, and several exterior sites.

Working with the Office of Multicultural Recruitment and Don Mays, SAAHP in July 2012 for the second year participated in the Summer Intensive Program in Art and Architecture, coordinated by Assistant Dean Greg Laramie. Adjunct Faculty Rob Rustermier and Denny Moers led in Visual Arts coursework, Karen Hughes led the Architecture efforts.

he Summer Intensive Program offers free tuition, room and board to outstanding students from Philadelphia’s Charter High School of Architecture and Design (CHAD), the Brooklyn High School of the Arts, the Green Dot Charter School in the Bronx and the Union Assembly New York Harbor School on Governor’s Island.
