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.

Lunch and Learn: OER with Shannon L. Jenkins
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: Did you know nearly 60% of all students do not purchase a textbook at some point in time?
The National Association of College Stores (NACS) says the average college student will spend $655 on textbooks each year, but with a single textbook easily costing as much as $300, that total can easily be much higher. In fact, the College Board puts the annual cost of books and materials at $1,168 as noted by Tyler Kingkade of the Huffington Post. Open Educational Resources (OER) are an opportunity for decreasing these costs for our students.
Join us for a lunchtime discussion with guest speaker Shannon L. Jenkins, Associate Professor of Political Science and Department Chairperson. The teaching and learning benefits of incorporating these OER instructional materials will be explored. Information on how to get started using OER and creating your own OER will also be presented.
Lunch will be provided, Library room 314.

Religious Literacy: The Evangelicals
- Location: CCB 115
- Cost: Free!
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: With Protestantism so diverse and changing, who are the evangelicals? What distinguishes evangelical Christianity from mainline Protestant denominations and why the great growth of evangelical Christianity in the last century? Is it global? Is it truly cross-cultural? Is it reasonable?
Rev. Dr. Neil Damgaard, Th.M., D.Min. will bring a 30 minute lecture in the large Conference Room in the Charlton College of Business on Wednesday March 11th at noon, followed by a good time for questions and answers that will seek to concisely define and meaningfully define what Christianity is, from an evangelical perspective. Originally from Washington D.C., Dr. Damgaard has been Protestant Chaplain with the UMD Center for Religious and Spiritual Life since 2007, and a supportive friend of UMD for over 31 years. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech and Dallas Theological Seminary (twice). (His wife Renee and daughter Jocelyn are summa cum laud and cum laud graduates of UMD).
