Tomorrow Truman will hold the 26th Annual Student Research Conference. Classes are cancelled on this day to allow students, faculty, and staff to experience the fantastic range of research and creative work being done by students on Truman’s campus. The Art Department will be very well represented and we hope to see you at a lot of these events! Congratulations to all the students and to their faculty mentors (including Prof. Priya Kambli who was a semi-finalist for the Research Mentor of the Year award!).
Featured throughout the day will be two exhibitions of student artwork:
8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Atrium, South Wing of OP
