A Solon Salute to Sunny Ingraldi, David Frey, Hugh Wallace, Joel Bansah, and Casarah Acosta who all represented the Engineering class at a recent bridge building competition. They all did a great job, and our bridges placed respectably, especially for our first time there, and we had a good time. (Link to More Pictures)
A Solon Salute to Navah Fried, who read her poetry alongside Former Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin on this Sunday evening as part of Poem Town Randolph.
A Solon Salute to Ben Ward who recently traveled to the Keith Haring Foundation in New York City on a research trip in support for his CBL. Ben has embarked on a year-long, inquiry driven, course of study exploring the influences of Peruvian culture on the art and artistic expressions of Keith Haring. Ben is working with UVM's Fleming Museum and it's executive director, Janie Cohen, to write a scholarly article for publication in a professional art history journal. Excellent work, Ben.
