Faculty & Staff Mindfulness Meditation
- Location: MacLean Campus Center, Reflection Room, Room 233
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Weekly meeting for faculty and staff who are interested in learning about and practicing mindfulness meditation.
This technique has been shown to increase cortical density in areas of the brain associated with cognitive and attentional control and emotional regulation. Practice with mindfulness meditation has been found to reduce anxiety and stress, increase attentional abilities and supplement socio-emotional functioning. No experience is required, and drop-ins are more than welcome.
This event is to repeat weekly for the Spring 2015 semester, excluding Feb. 17th and March 17th.
Please contact Aminda O'Hare (aohare@umassd.edu or ext. 8761) for more information.

Last we will work with a tool (OpenRefine) which will curate your messy data and play around with theory on version controls and backlogs.
The class will be taught in two sequences. The first sequence is for faculty and staff only and is sponsored by the Office of Faculty Development.

Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts presents
Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design
Featuring recent student work from Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography
Exhibition Dates: 3/2- 4/1
Reception: Tuesday, March 3rd, 4 pm to 6 pm
Artist Talk at 5 pm during the reception, titled Re.Membered: The Art of Collaboration
The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts is pleased to present the third annual Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design on display from March 2 through April 1, 2015.
The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience.
The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies.
The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.
