My Self-Care Survival Kit - Student Art Exhibition

From January 8 - 31, we will have a student art exhibition in the 4th floor Atrium. Artist Yuchen Wu is an undergraduate student majoring in Art & Design. For her, art is expressive and healing and she wants to use art to advocate for hidden voices and to connect with and empower people. 

Thinking of going virtual or hybrid with your event?

Video conferencing has become a cornerstone of successful operating procedures for most organizations. It allows people to have flexibility and work remotely. With the right technology and support, they can make your meetings just as productive as if they were in person.
